This error occurs when our users "Block third-party cookies and site data".

To replicate the error, go to:

  1. Check your Chrome browser "Block third-party cookies and site data" reference in this guide
  2. Go to https://www.deeptent.com
  3. Click SIGN IN
  4. Next you will see a blank screen. And if you open up the browser developer console you will see this error:

We always advise our users to Uncheck the blocking of third-party cookies and site data; however, some users still prefer to block it.

  1. One can still sign in to their Gmail with this blocked. Interestingly, why can't our users sign in using the Firebase-Google OAuth provided with their third party cookies & site data blocked?

  2. We are built with Angular2 and Firebase. Is there no way that the users can still authenticate with third-party cookies and site data blocked?

I had the same issue with firebase and Angular.

In your environment.ts file, look for:

firebase: {
  authDomain: '<domain>.firebaseapp.com',

And in chrome settings chrome://settings/content/cookies, add the following string to the cookies whitelist:

https://[*.]firebaseapp.com
