If you are trying to sign into Google's apps while using Mailbird, you will encounter this error message:

  • You are trying to sign in from a browser or app that doesn't allow us to keep your account secure.

For security reasons, Google has decided that they will no longer allow access to their services from browsers embedded in other apps.

The only solution is to use Google's apps in a normal browser outside of Mailbird - unfortunately this is entirely beyond our control since it is a restriction put in place by Google.

You can read more about the decision by clicking here, but unfortunately the suggestions provided by Google in the article do not apply to embedded apps (such as Mailbird).

Hopefully you have found this article useful, but if you still require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Happiness Team by clicking here.
