After pressing Sign in with Google & entering credentials I get “This app is blocked - This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account.” error.

I can login with some google accounts but on some I get this error below.

Hi @rok.sekoranja ,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

Could you please check if [allow less secure apps](https://support.google.com/a/answer/6260879?hl=en) is enabled for the emails with and without this error?

If both emails have the same settings, could you repeat this issue with both emails and DM me the [HAR](https://auth0.com/docs/troubleshoot/generate-and-analyze-har-files) file?

Thanks!

Hi @lihua.zhang I am facing a similar issue when I try to Test the connection with my Email ID registered with Auth0. I have tried the above of Allowing less secure apps but still get the same error. I am currently working on my local environment using react implementation

Hello @lihua.zhang . Same issue here. When I check less secure app settings in Google it shows it is no longer valid per [Less secure apps & your Google Account - Google Account Help](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en#zippy=%2Cif-less-secure-app-access-is-on-for-your-account)

Not sure what can be done here.

Hi @rok.sekoranja and everyone!

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

I am sorry about the late reply to your inquiry!

As advised in [this community post](https://community.auth0.com/t/this-app-is-blocked-google-oauth2/102070) by another user:

> I need to use OAuth2Client from ‘google-auth-library’ to get a log in link.

Otherwise, Auth0 has transitioned to more `fine grained permissions` where you can select scopes which are not as sensitive as the ones requested by the blanket permissions as seen below:

If you have any other questions regarding the matter, feel free to let me know!

Kind Regards,  
Nik
