To help protect your account, Google doesn’t let you sign in from some browsers. Google might stop sign-ins from browsers that:
- Don’t support JavaScript or have JavaScript turned off
- Have unsecure or unsupported extensions added
- Are being controlled through software automation rather than a human
- Are embedded in a different application
Step 1. Use a supported browser
These and other browsers support JavaScript:
- Chrome
- Safari
- Firefox
- Opera
- Edge
Step 2. Turn on JavaScript in Chrome
If you use a supported browser and still can’t sign in, you might need to turn on JavaScript.- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, click More
Settings.
- At the bottom, click Advanced.
- Under "Privacy and security," click Site Settings
- Turn on the setting.
Turn on JavaScript in other browsers
Fix problems when you sign in
Turn off extensions in ChromeTip: If you use a different browser, check its support page for how to turn off extensions.
Tip: If you use a different browser, visit its support page to learn how to update it.
If you use a browser other than Chrome and have set your browser’s privacy settings to “High” or “Strict,” you may need to add www.google.com to your browser’s list of allowed sites.
Visit your browser’s support page for how to check your privacy settings.
If you use a firewall, proxy, or anti-virus program, temporarily turn off the program. Then try to sign in to your Google Account.
If that fixes the problem, the security program might have stopped you from using your Google Account. To use their program with Google access, contact the program's support page.
Information for app developers
If you implemented "Sign in with Google" with the Chromium Embedded Framework, you’ll need to migrate to a more secure alternative:
- Switch to use browser-based OAuth.
- Migrate your desktop app to a Progressive Web App.
