Bug Description

Hello
I am user of ubuntu 18.04 with gnome version 3.28.2 and it seems that I have found a bug when a GMAIL account is added.
I have a problem setting up my child's GMAIL account (minor). The normal thing in any web browser is that when entering the GMAIL website, enter the data of them and then have to enter mine to consent to their access. In the GNOME directly blocks access when entering from ONLINE ACCOUNTS. Is there a solution for you to access?
Thanks and best regards

I believe this is fixed for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS which will use the browser to log in instead of a popup window powered by WebkitGTK.
