Describe the bug
When trying to sign in through Google Login the login is halted with the following message:
This browser or app may not be secure.
Try using a different browser. If you’re already using a supported browser, you can try again to sign in.
Any workarounds currently known for this problem? I have a 6 month subscription on that account so it's not exactly like I can just start up a new account.
To Reproduce
- Log in.
- Sign in with google.
- Type email.
- Message as listed above will be displayed.

Is this a fresh install of the app or an update from a past version?
Fresh install of 22.04 a few months old now though.

Additional context
Found this on google's support pages.
To help keep your account secure, from May 30, 2022, Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.
Important: This deadline does not apply to Google Workspace or Google Cloud Identity customers. The enforcement date for these customers will be announced on the Workspace blog at a later date.
This problem will exist more than likely until the Electron version is updated for linux to support the new login methods as far as I can tell.
I was able to work around this by logging in to my NVIDIA account through google (On my chrome browser), and going into my security settings and adding a password to my account manually.
Hi.

As you have already found out, the only workaround that does not violate Google's ToS and endanger your account, is to set a password and log in traditionally rather than with Google.
It's unfortunate that Google becomes more and more a "walled garden", but it's their choice and we cannot change that.
