Cannot sign in to google photos: application or browser is not secure

[mpl]

I'm getting an error during login to the google account, stating that the app is not secured.
I'm hoping updating chromedp might help with that. And we'll have to do it anyway to keep up with chrome changes.
However, we should not update to the latest version yet because:
chromedp/chromedp#627
And indeed I did hit that problem with 81.0.4044.138 here.

Problem persists with:

github.com/chromedp/cdproto v0.0.0-20200209033844-7e00b02ea7d2
github.com/chromedp/chromedp v0.5.4-0.20200417165948-9fff3ea3e94b

Setting up an App Password (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833) did not help either. And in hindsight, not surprising, since I get the error as soon as I enter the username, even before entering the password.

Using this trick: #1 (comment) worked for me.
We should automate "stealing cookies" from the currently running chrome session. But until we figure out which part to steal exactly, I think I'll just add a flag to "initialize" a profile dir like the trick above does, as a quick fix for anyone who encounters this problem.

fwiw, just copying Default/Cookies into $TMPDIR/gphotos-cdp/Default/Cookies does not seem to be enough.

I have an up to date branch that was doing the trick a couple of weeks ago, but which is now obsolete for some reason. I'm giving up for now, since Google seems to have fixed some things on their end and I can now sign in again directly from chromedp, and I can therefore go back to fixing other bugs.
