This is a change by Google, targetting applications which aren't browsers but
ask the user to sign in to their Google Account:

I've heard about it before:
https://www.reddit.com/r/qutebrowser/comments/cyb1wi/cant_sign_into_google/
but it seems to come and go, and I've never seen it with my own account so far.

Not much qutebrowser can do I guess - you might want to contact Google in some
way, but... good luck with that.
