Chromium Edge not to login Google services after update

Question

I've just updated my Chromium Edge for Mac to Version 80.0.361.66 (Official build) (64-bit) and now I can't login to Google with MFA enabled. It says that this browser is not secure enough to use Google as below. Is anyone having the same issue as mine? I think that a greedy browser war has been begun by Google..

Edit: I finally resolved the issue by re-installing the app. I don't know the root-cause, but it's not from Google for sure.

wondong&nbsp;thanks for reporting this. Were you looking at Chrome Extensions? Can you share the URL you were hitting when you saw this?

johnjansen&nbsp;No, it's not related to Extension. I don't have any and I didn't try getting any.Belows were my steps. I go to "google.com" and click "sign in" on the top then follow a login process.After I hit my password, it supposed to have the second factor (either App auth or SMS), but insecure browser error comes.&nbsp;

Hey&nbsp;wondong, I work with John on Edge - I grabbed a nearby mac and confirmed the version matches yours and tried to reproduce the issue but wasn't able to.
&nbsp;
My theory right now is that there might be something relating to the OS that google isn't happy with? Could you provide your OS version as well as check a few random things for me:
&nbsp;
- Is your machine date/time correct for where your timezone?
- Would it be possible to try and reproduce the issue with Chrome (install Chrome and try?)
- Do you see any login issues in other places, like youtube or totally non-google related sites that require login?
&nbsp;
Let me know how these go.

shon348&nbsp;Thanks for the reply.I have the latest version of Chromium Edge, Edge BETA, Edge CAN and Google Chrome.I tried to logout, clear cache, visit "google.com", sign-in and try again with private mode on all browsers.&nbsp;Results are that it worked all except Chromium Edge. My OS version is 10.15.3. I cannot login Youtube or any sites that requires Google login, but I can login Facebook, Outlook.com, and o365. And yes, my clock is set with no issue on EST zone.&nbsp;The only drawback is that after updating my Chromium Edge, my browser profile (My MSN ID) was logged out and I got a new app icon on Mac taskbar. It used to be the same app icon and logged-in status before. Also, Google login couldn't recognize an update browser as the same browser so it gives me a sign-in button.&nbsp;Let me know if you need anytime else.

wondong&nbsp;this is pretty interesting that it works on Canary, Beta and Google Chrome.
&nbsp;
If you haven't already, could you also try the Dev version of Microsoft Edge? Available here:&nbsp;https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download/&nbsp;my guess is that it will work just like Canary, Beta and Chrome.
&nbsp;
Usually Canary, Dev and Beta are newer versions of our browser, so if we did something recently to break you logging into Google, you would see it in Canary/Beta or Dev but not Stable (e.g. Just plain Microsoft Edge). Since you are seeing in Stable (older) but not newer (canary/dev/beta) this leads me to think that something went wrong with your Microsoft Edge (stable) install that didn't go wrong with Canary and Beta.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
If you haven't tried this already, could you try uninstalling Microsoft Edge (stable) by dragging it from Applications inside Finder to the recycle bin. Reboot your machine for good measure - and try and install it again?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Sorry for the annoyance.
