Franz: Cannot sign into Google Hangouts with Franz 5.4.0

Created on 25 Dec 2019 · 8Comments · Source: meetfranz/franz

I added the Hangouts service on Franz and by logging in I was informed that this browser or app may not be secure.
How to log in to the service through Franz?

I have an account that works and one that does not. Maybe this is related to 2FA? The account that works does not have 2FA enabled.

Can someone/anyone help me?

Same with me!

Same applies to other (all?) Google services (e.g. Gmail)

In my case Gmail too.

So, if the browser is embedded the browser is seen as unsupported. Hopefully Franz finds a workaround...

the thing is, that one of my gmail accounts works, but the other does not work!
The one that works is older and also an @googlemail.com account.
The newer one that does not work is an @gmail.com only account.

The problem is at: Gmail, hangouts and calendars.

Maybe that helps!

I realized also that my gmail does not apply read items.
For example: I read an email at iPhone and then it appears as unread in franz.
Franz was able to detect that things some time ago...
