Code.org Maker App issues - Google Login

Hey @tthomas - sorry to hear about the frustrations this has caused. Not sure if you saw this in our other post, but here’s some more information about why we made this change:

Why Did We Make This Change? Google has recently increased their security measures when using third-party apps (like ours!) to login with Google services. These steps allow us to continue using Google to login to the app, while also keeping your account information secure with Google’s new procedures.

We’re working on more improvements that will hopefully make this process easier, but unfortunately we’re still forced to leave the Google button disabled and use the “generate a code” method instead - otherwise, we’d have to stop using Google logins entirely.

We’re definitely open to hearing other ways we can improve the experience though. If you have any other feedback on the process or places where we could add little tooltips or explanations to help students out, let us know and we can see what improvements we can make.
