Https-everywhere: Can't log into Google

Type: ruleset/website issue

With HTTPS Everywhere enabled, I'm no longer able to log into Google. After entering my password, I see the error "Sorry, something went wrong there. Try again." It appears that a POST request to https://accounts.google.com/_/signin/challenge?[query redacted in case it's sensitive] comes back 401. With HTTPS Everywhere disabled, that request is 200, and the login works. Notably, for some reason, after seeing the error once and disabling HTTPS Everywhere, I have to clear my cookies for the google.com domain before logging in will work again.

I am having the same issue

With HTTPS Everywhere enabled I get a Sorry, something went wrong there. Try again.
With it disabled I am presented with my Multi-Factor Authentication prompt and can complete the login

Note: I tried disabling HTTPS Everywhere for https://accounts.google.com but still had an issue

@zoracon I suspect that the culprit is a securecookie tag. Can you confirm that is the case?

I am not able to duplicate this issue since I seem to be able to log into multiple accounts with the extension without issue. I need a little more information here though.

@Peeja and @Eric-Dunaway can you both list the browser, browser version, and operating system you are using when you come across this error?

I've had the same happen, along with various 400s over cookies sizes that seem related to the plugin.
On this particular google issue I only had it happening on my mac os, 10.14.6 chrome version 87.0.4280.141, but the cookie one happens on win10 as well.
