Web3Auth login is blocked by google when trying to access via instagram browser

No-modal
Vue
Plug And Play

When trying to login with google from the instagram browser, i receive a google error msg:

Access blocked: Authorization error

You can’t sign in from this screen because the app doens’t comply with Google’s secure browser policy.

Error 403: disallowed_useragent

Is there a way i can login with google using web3auth through the instagram browser?

Hello Matheus,

Thanks for reaching out! It looks like you’re experiencing an issue with the Google login using Web3Auth in the Instagram browser. This specific error, Error 403: disallowed_useragent, is due to Google’s policies restricting authentication from certain in-app browsers, like the one Instagram uses.

This isn’t directly an issue with Web3Auth but rather a policy enforced by Google to ensure security. Here are a couple of potential workarounds:

  1. Alternative Browsers: Inform users to open your application link in a standard mobile browser (like Chrome or Safari) instead of the Instagram in-app browser.

  2. Universal Links: Implementing universal links can help reopen your app in a regular mobile browser instead of the in-app browser when a user clicks a link in Instagram.

  3. User Education: Adding guidance within your app to prompt users to open the link outside the Instagram browser can also help.

Unfortunately, these restrictions are set by Google and are outside Web3Auth’s direct control. If you need more details or have any additional questions, feel free to ask!

Best,
