For more details, see our previous blog post. The browser must have JavaScript enabled. Modern browsers with security updates will continue to be supported. Alternatively, you can use a compatible full native browser for sign-in.įor limited-input device applications, such as applications that do not have access to a browser or have limited input capabilities, use limited-input device OAuth 2.0 flows. If you're an app developer and use CEF or other clients for authorization on devices, use browser-based OAuth 2.0 flows. How to enable sign-in on your embedded framework-based apps using browser-based OAuth 2.0 flows.The information in this document outlines the following: To minimize the disruption of service to our partners, we are providing this information to help developers set up OAuth 2.0 flows in supported user-agents. This block affects CEF-based apps and other non-supported browsers. To protect our users from these types of attacks Google Account sign-ins from all embedded frameworks will be blocked starting on January 4, 2021. MITM presents an authentication flow on these platforms and intercepts the communications between a user and Google to gather the user’s credentials (including the second factor in some cases) and sign in. One form of phishing, known as “ man-in-the-middle”, is hard to detect when an embedded browser framework (e.g., Chromium Embedded Framework - CEF) or another automation platform is being used for authentication. Our security systems automatically detect, alert and help protect our users against a range of security threats. We are always working to improve security protections of Google accounts.
