Google sign-in does not work with "browser or app may not be secure"

[salomvary]

It's pretty much outside of our control as explained here https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/22346#issuecomment-590413621 and here https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/17887

Kinda makes sense as Google has no way of knowing whether SoundCleod steals credentials or not. Spoiler alert: it does not:)

Possible fixes:

• Faking Chrome user agent - but Google is probably more clever than that
• Switch to "browser based OAuth" - whatever that entails/. It likely requires messing with SoundCloud's internals on how sign-in is implemented. See the recommendation here: https://security.googleblog.com/2019/04/better-protection-against-man-in-middle.html

Workaround:

1. If you have email and password set up at SoundCloud, sign in to SoundCleod using those instead of your Google account
2. If you don't yet have a password, do the following:
3. Log in to https://soundcloud.com in a browser (Chrom, Firefox, Safari, Edge) using your Google Account
4. Go to your settings (https://soundcloud.com/settings)
5. Add an email address if you don't yet have one
6. Send a reset password link
7. Go to 1.
