Ferdi: Persistent authentication problem notice on Gmail

[IfnotFr]

Describe the bug
I am having an authentication problem notice on top of Gmail. It cannot be removed and stay persistent.

To Reproduce
I just added a new service Gmail, logged in, and I have this message. Trying to delete the service and adding it again does not solve the issue (is a cache stay in Ferdi after deleting a service ?)

For information i am using google double authentication with my smartphone ... Maybe this is the problem (at the connection the double auth was successful, no problem on this side).

@julienfortinfr The bug you are experiencing is actually a different one and should be fixed by updating to the newest beta version of Ferdi.

I get the same thing, don't have this happen in Franz

@vantezzen Thank you, I'll try the beta.

I've try with the last beta releas of Ferdi, but the login problem and "unsafe Browser" still persist...

I can confirm that this is occuring with Ferdi 5.4.4-beta.2. I am unable to log-into my YouTube service at the moment (I get the same error as @bzsimon )

I was able to fix this by updating the gmail recipe index.js to the following:

module.exports = Franz => class Gmail extends Franz { overrideUserAgent() { return "Chrome/70.0.3538.77"; } };

Some other solutions updated this to the firefox user agent, but that still caused the issue for me. Once I updated this to Chrome only, the error went away.

I'm on the latest beta (Version 5.4.4-beta.3 (5.4.4-beta.3.1426)) - and I am unable to find the ~/.config/Ferdi folder - so, can't change it. Any help please?

If you're on a mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Ferdi/recipes/gmail

Thanks @Brotater - this is working now! Now I just need to write up a script that I can use if/when this occurs again. (since I use homebrew to upgrade to beta versions of ferdi as soon as one's released!)

I don't think this is happening anymore in newer versions (at least since 5.5.0-gm). Closing for now 🙏
