Unable To Authenticate Using Google On Linux #40

When I try to use Google Social login I get a message when I try to log in to Google that my browser is not supported. See screenshot below:

Hello.

This is a known issue but unsolvable, since Electron does not support this kind of sign ins without UserAgent spoofing which we recently just removed due to it causing other issues.

So for the time being please use the classic login

Thanks for the update... As far as I can tell, once you have enabled social login, there is no way to set a "classic" password. :(

I'm not sure if this will work for GeForce NOW but for other services, you can log in with a social button and then go the account settings and "change" the password At least that's what I did after I switched away from social logins back to classic passwords, and it worked on a multitude of different services

I've been looking for an option to do that, but I cannot find it for GeForce NOW.
