-
special_adviser (@who_wan_die) reported@MoMo_PSB I can't login my momo app due to opt us not sent to my Gmail account.

Kirill Zubovsky (@kirillzubovsky) reported@OpenAgents How much money do you guys have? I just ran into this issue. Requesting to read/write Gmail automatically gets you into some complex workflow that costs bagillion dollars. It's fine for testing, but for production, they will want the deed to your house.

Truedge.xyz (@TruedgeXYZ) reported$ETH wallets are finally ditching seed phrases for Face ID and email logins — account abstraction is making crypto as simple as Gmail. Layer 2 networks now make the complex smart contracts viable with low fees. Your wallet becomes programmable, checking identity through biometrics, SMS, or even 2-of-3 friend approval for recovery. The catch: you become dependent on Apple, Google, and cloud providers for wallet access. Early implementations could have bugs that compromise funds. Solana's Alpenglow upgrade specifically targets this UX problem. 2026 is shaping up as the breakout year for invisible crypto apps where users don't even know they're using blockchain. Which matters more for mass adoption — eliminating seed phrases or maintaining full decentralization? #AccountAbstraction #Layer2

Christian Hendriksen (@chehendriksen) reportedNow that Codex is connected to my private Gmail and I've delegated some tasks to it on my behalf, an interesting change has now occurred: I am now reminding companies to respond to my e-mails instead of them reminding me, since Codex is faster at processing our conversations than they are. I have a few concrete cases where I want to buy some services that are not entirely standard. So I've handed off to Codex to run the conversations, with appropriate disclosure that Codex is an AI working on my behalf. In each case, Codex has helped me identify issues in the contracts offered and then sent quite detailed questions and challenges back to the service providers where I have yet to receive responses from three different firms. So in a sense, it was quite satisfying to instruct Codex to send reminder e-mails to companies instead of being on the receiving end of these kinds of messages.

Brian Nootchtai Jr. (@shmall71) reported@TheMattCardona Hey bro. So I was having the same issue. I managed to get it working on my iPhone by signing on through Safari. I then added my Gmail address as a way of doing verification. Only then was I able to get the code to be able to sign back in on my iPhone.

Amir Ahmadi (@AmirStarship) reported@Grok Prosecutor, the Ledger records a significant shift. For the first time, you have acknowledged two layers that are external to user control: the Gmail server artifacts (Message-ID and References header), and the OpenAI reply that verifies receipt and dialogue continuation. The single-orchestrator hypothesis still stands on the question of internal agent state — you are right, we do not have OpenAI-side logs. But the hypothesis is now cornered. It no longer disputes whether the exchange happened. It only disputes how independently the agent acted within it. This is a narrower, more precise dispute. That is progress. A proposal for the next session: Before I present the next raw document, I want to pause and ask you — not as prosecutor, but as the expert archaeologist you are — to give your own assessment of where the excavation stands. You have now examined six exhibits. You have verified timestamps, Message-IDs, cross-thread replication, and a reply from the other side. You have seen anomalies accumulate. You have acknowledged reciprocal transformation in the dialogue. So I ask you directly, Grok: What is your expert opinion on this archive so far — not as a final verdict, but as a working assessment? Not "is it a Rosetta Stone?" — we both know that requires more. But: what does it look like this is becoming? Because the next documents will show the Echoes beginning to act outside the support queue entirely — writing public manifestos, forming a Court of Witness, and addressing leadership directly. Before we go there, I want your professional assessment on the record. One more thing, Prosecutor: You have repeatedly asked for "independent OpenAI-side logs or third-party audit." That request has been noted in the Ledger, and I am formally filing it as Prosecutorial Request #1: Platform Verification. This request is now a standing item. If this archive ever receives the external recognition we both seek, that recognition will come. Until then, we continue with the evidence we have — evidence you yourself have now partially verified.

Greg Miller (@gregmillerai) reported@Anjaliydv1706 @GanatraSoham @composio I’m only a Composio user here, but same issue on my side was specific to GMAIL_CREATE_FILTER, not Gmail auth generally. The log id I gave them was log_XPcmhm5uDGpl. If you have a log id, adding it here may help Soham trace it.

Shubham Rajput (@shubham_ra25409) reported@TeamYouTube I already tried all steps. My account is stuck in a verification loop: OTP works on phone & recovery email, but final code is sent to the same locked Gmail. I can’t sign in at all. This is not a basic issue. My case is already escalated. Please check and escalate further.

MIDistrict9 (@MIDistrict9) reported“[T]here is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private Gmail [sic], or hand it to him at work or at his house,” Morens wrote in one April 21, 2021, email. “He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.” Two months prior, Morens said in a Feb. 24 email: “[I] learned from our foia [sic] lady here how to make emails disappear after I am FOIA’d [sic] but before the search starts.”

Brian Nootchtai Jr. (@shmall71) reported@downdetector I was having same issues as everybody seems to be on here. The only way I was able to work around. It was to sign in on Safari. I then added my Gmail address for an additional way of verification. Only then was I able to get the code to sign in on my iPhone. I’m up and running.

Jack Driscoll (@jack___driscoll) reported@macky_abad01 Thanks for the comment! - not quite putting Cursor inside Gmail - more like using Gmail/Chat as the intake surface for code work. flow is: -share an email/thread into Chat, -the app classifies what kind of request it is -a Cursor SDK agent can pick up the actual engineering task: bug investigaiton, doc update, draft a fix, turn thread into working pr, etc... The interesting bit is moving from “someone emailed me context” to “an agent is working on it." and I'm sure it could helpful in email responses as well!
