Unable to login to web app when using VSCode Chrome Debugger


When I start a debugging session on VSCode, it opens a new Chrome window and loads my web app. My web app requires the user to sign-in via Google to use.

When I try to sign in, I get an error saying "This browser or app may not be secure". There is no option that allows me to bypass this and sign in. Does anyone know a way around this?


Solution

  • This solution no longer works since google removed the feature in May of 2022.

    Logged into the correct google account turning on "Less secure app access" on https://myaccount.google.com/security should work
