You can work around this by giving Min permission to access Bluetooth: https://mobile.twitter.com/iambudi4/status/1330165661591629828

For fixing this, we need this change: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1126246
Electron-packager might need to be updated with the Bluetooth permission key as well.

May I ask, why the Google Login page requires Bluetooth?

melgu on 26 Nov 2020

@melgu Try asking google? I don't really know why that page would specifically ask for Bluetooth unless Google want's it, maybe a google home?

@Milo123459 Thanks for the quick reply. Seems kinda fishy.

Weirdd.... Have you got a google bluetooth device?

Milo123459 on 26 Nov 2020

^ ie, google home

There's a good chance it's for fingerprinting; Google collects a lot of information on the signin page so they can uniquely identify your device and block signins based on that. But that's completely speculation on my part; I don't know the actual reason.

Weirdd.... Have you got a google bluetooth device?

No, nothing like that. Especially nothing Google would require on login.
Only not so fishy thing I can think of: Are there Bluetooth 2FA-devices?

Hmmm, fingerprinting probably

This should be fixed by electron/electron#26730.

@PalmerAL Now that PR is merged, can this issue be closed?

Milo123459 on 12 Dec 2020

I'll leave it open until we release a version with the fix.
