I just switched from an iPhone 7 to an iPhone XR (both are on latest iOS version available).

When I try to login into the Stack Exchange app with my Google account it says:

Request failed
Could not perform this request with your account. Please try logging back in. If this persist, let us know on meta.

this happens consistently.

I have 2FA enabled on my Google account if it matters.

Is this a known bug?

    It doesn't allow me to login with an app-specific password, but in any case the login worked just fine on my iPhone 7...

    I have exactly the same problem: I was loggedin on my iPhone X, then I migrated to the iPhone Xs Max... On my iPhone xSMax I had to login via google again. I can pick my google account but afterwads I get the same error.

    Same problem with an iPad. Switched from iPad Air to an iPad Pro and the login with Google fails.

    No action after 20 days. This is very bad.

  • The app is not dead it's just a matter of interface authentication. It's useful for getting quick answers.

  • @egq not a single bug in the apps was fixed for several years.

    @DorBar so how you call an app where its developers not fixing any of its bug, ever? I call it dead.

This was fixed a while back.

There was a regression in Google's tokeninfo endpoint that was causing requests to fail server-side. More details at Unable to log in with Google account to the Stack Overflow iOS app (Request failed)

If SE will ever decide to assign a programmer to fix this bug, my advice is to start here: 403 Error - Thats an error. Error: disallowed_useragent
