Description

I've been trying to sign in via google. It is successful on Google's side and the Redis page tells me to go back to the software, but I always get an "Authorization Failed" or "Server Error" error. I have 2FA enabled currently, so as soon as I get the error message, my phone is gets sent two different access code messages. The issue was still occurring without 2FA.

I am not sure why this happens.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Google sign-in flow in Redis Insight Cloud, with and without 2FA, and capture whether the failure is reported as “Authorization Failed” or “Server Error.” Trace the sign-in entry point and authentication response to identify the failing stage; done means successful return to Redis Insight without either error.
