Stop "Sign in with Google" pop-ups

The fruition everyone is discussing is not about multiple companies having their own sign-in options. It is the fact that Google (yes, likely through a free powerful easy to install ALI) forced a disruptive panel when the page loads. That is what we all want to stop.

No, Google is NOT forcing it. The websites are asking (not forcing) you to log into their sites using Google's log in API. I'm not sure why that's so hard to understand.

I get it all the time with Redfin. I just close the pop up and move on with looking at houses I'm not going to buy.

Apple cannot prevent third-party websites from contracting with Google to use Google's sign in service any more than Google can prevent websites from using Apple's.

Apple needs to make a way to turn off Google pop-ups asking us to sign in on websites!!!

unfortunately, this explains how to stop using the sign in. This doesn’t explain how to stop the pop-up. it appears that the answer is, you can’t.

Dismiss the pop up. Continue using Safari.

Cause: Someone has mentioned this elsewhere in this thread, so I am just repeating something similar here: The Google login pop up is created by a script in the website you are visiting. It has nothing to do with Safari. Safari loads whatever the website script tells it to load, with few exceptions. I could give you an example, but I don't want to advertise. Each time I go to url www.blablabla.com, the Google login pop up appears. But the competitor to the previous url, www.blablablacompetitor.com does not team up with Google to offer this "feature." I am sure that this "feature" simple gathers data about your activity on the site and combines this with the already gathered data in your profile (if you chose to log in ), which goes through Google analytics, to generate additional revenue on your dime. One Solution: I have mentioned a desktop solution in this thread, but I do not believe I mentioned a phone solution yet. For iphone, I use an app called "Lockdown." The app is free, and you do not need to create an account or purchase any subscription with them to use the basic features (all you need to block the Google login pop up). Download the app (see image of app), install the app, and allow it to function as a VPN (see image). When you open the app, you do not need to use the "Tunnel" feature (see image), which is the paid feature. Use the "Firewall" (see same previous image) feature only (turn it on by clicking the button after creating your url "Block List"). Create a custom url "Block List" by clicking the eponymous tab under the "Firewall" button. When you reach the new screen, click the "Custom" tab. Click the plus sign to create a new Custom url Block List. When you reach this stage you need to type the urls (address connections) into this document / Block List that you want to block. You can use the urls I provide in the attached images. One of them is responsible for blocking the Google login pop up, but I do not remember which one. If you want to know which one, you need to add each url, one by one, and test each one by closing the Block List document, turning on the Firewall button, and try loading a website which offers the Google login "feature." You can turn the Firewall button off if you want to actually login to Google. If you turn it on, however, the app will not allow your phone to communicate with that url address.

thanks. I've been looking for a solution to this, as well as to pop-up video ads, and AdGuard appears to work!

It's not just safari, I use firefox and don't have a google account, nor do I search with google. It's something that I suspect only the websites themselves can control. I doubt anyone in this forum would know, but I suspect PC Window users have it too.

Complain to the websites that are serving the pop-up to you. They obviously want you to log in using Google.

This works if you are on Chrome and are using it to sign in and search the web. Doesn't do anything to stop the drop down/pop up/cover the cover of the screen incessant "Sign into Google without password" in Safari. Thanks for the tip, though. I think it is stopping it in Chrome (when I occasionally are required to use it for specific apps).

Right. We all have time to contact EVERY WEBSITE. This is what I'm trying to remove. It has NOTHING to do with the individual websites. It is every time. Every website. And I use DuckDuckGo for my search. I'm not even using Google.

I gave up. I have to click the "X" to get rid of the pop up everytime. I also have to get an authentication for FB everytime because "from time to time we ask you to verify" and since I upgraded to Ventura, I get this everytime. And no matter what I attempt to do, I have to put in passwords for a half dozen sites where, no matter how many times I have asked Safari to save or trust the browser, it doesn't. I did just find out how to stop Google Maps from automatically being the link from when I search for something (switch to DuckDuckGo and remove Google maps from your phone; now, Apple maps will link) which is a small victory.

Yes, would will have to dismiss the pop-up on any site that uses Google sign-in. Complain to whatever company runs the website.

That is most likely a FB issue. All of their apps seem to have been somewhat broken lately. Not surprised to hear their website is, too. But, I'm not sure how it's related to this thread.

I'm not sure how this is related to the subject of this thread, either.

I'm not sure how not sharing additional information that may help someone, when going throught the daily tech he!l we all go through, doesn't matter. So what if it's "off topic." Especially since it actually does relate: They are attempting to stop GOOGLE. And GOOGLE MAPS is one of the worst offenders.

It's every website re: the Google pop up. So, we'll played. Let's go down the thank you for contacting us, we'll see if we can help you, and there 's actually no way to get in touch with us rabbit hole.

No, it's a Safari issue, as every site, each time requires some authenication that doesn't "save." FB is just the one I daily attempt. But, good try.

I await the repremand and "not appropriate," and "be kind" and all the others because I disagree with the condescending answer.

I have taken these steps and disabled the "Sign in with Google" prompt, and disconnected all sites that sign in automatically (or accidentally), AND THEY CONTINUE TO SHOW UP. Other than not using any browser at all, there is no way to get this super annoying popup to go away. What I don't understand is why Google thinks we want to sign in to every single website we go to. What is scary is that these prompts are proof that they watch everything we do, every single keystroke, everyday, for our entire lives. Thanks, Google for the reminder. I can't tell if it is brilliant or the most vexing design flaw ever. I think it is time for a VPN.
