[SOLVED] Signing Into Google On In-Game Browser

Recently I changed my password on the google account I had signed into the in-game browser. I have had this account signed in for years, and everything worked fine. Now, when I try signing in, google won't let me, because of some new policy where they don't allow in-built browsers. Is there any way to circumvent this and sign in again on the in-game browser? It's really annoying not having easy access to YouTube (I've never realised how many things are age-restricted before this) and docs etc while in-game.

I HAVE FOUND A FIX:

1) Go to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\<profile number>

2) Copy the file "Cookies".

3) Paste the file into C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Steam\htmlcache

4) Overwrite the current file.

This overwrites the steam browser's stored cookies to that of your chrome browser. If you are signed in on chrome, you will now be signed in on the steam browser. Not sure if this works with other browsers, but as long as cookies are enabled I don't see why it wouldn't.

in Windows 10 for me 1. was C:\Users\souma\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

rest are all good.. working for me now.

Before replacing the Cookies, you have to close the steam first. Otherwise it will not allow you to replace the file.

Well I'm having the same issue now as well. I've tried replacing the cookies file that I found under this file location: "C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Network" And replaced it with my steam folder location as stated before. But it's not working for me as well.

Is there another way to sign back in or... TBA still?

Whatever workarounds people may have briefly discovered would likely have been patched. And it seems clear that the solution stopped working after a few days, several years ago, if you had read the whole topic.

Outside of that the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) Valve is using in Steam was explicitly blocked by Google, for reasons mentioned in the article.

Valve apparently doesn't feel like it's worth their time to add OAuth authentication schemes so you can log into services. They would have done it years ago otherwise. And arguably the point of the overlay browser is to allow you to some quick and dirty browsing, not necessarily give you a complete and fully functional browser experience. Which would explain the lack of development concerning this issue. Any time you have issues with the Steam browser and some site/service, you should probably just use your regular browser.

IE Smarter people than you have made some serious decisions. Try to get around them at your own peril.

Talk to Google about it, then.

Why is it impossible to log into your freaking google account in steam browser? holy muck.
I Have googled the past 2 hours to find a solution, and NOTHING WORKS.

You do it from a real browser.
