Guidance to developers affected by our effort to block less secure browsers/apps
- andybak 6y agoThis was just posted with a heavily editorialized title ("Google announces plan to break password managers in name of security") and promptly flagged. However - I think it's worth having a discussion about this. I don't see the issue. Can someone explain? Embedded browsers are a terrible way to offer 3rd party oAuth login. Apps should redirect to a browser for the login flow. Anything else trains users that typing their password for company A into an app from company B is fine. And surely that means phishing becomes trivial. On the original post the comment was: > Key Quote: > > The browser must not provide automation features. This includes scripts that automate keystrokes or clicks, especially to perform automatic sign-ins.
