Hello @malioukis , based on what I read regarding electron-web-view here changing your user agent should work.

You can change it on "File" > "Settings" > "Advanced" Tab > Fill out the empty "User Agent" textbox.

I tried using an arbitrary name of "FerdiumApp" and it works.

Hello @sam-adam, Thank you for your answer! It worked like a charm!

I think that it has to be pointed out inside the app that the user agent field must be filled in order for the sidebar tasks to work! 😅

I have tried filling the user agent, but it didn't work, still i can't be logged in, can you assist how did you do it @malioukis

still suffering

@azizly you can try to use your main browser's user agent, please ensure first that google tasks is indeed open-able from that main browser (firefox, chrome, etc).

Check the user agent here: https://whatmyuseragent.com

Then fill it out to Ferdium's custom user agent.

This worked for me. Are there any security issues that come with changing the UserAgent? Is there any context for why Google considers the default as insecure?
