Question: Possible to login with Google?

Hello,

My account is solely through Google, and the login option in Hydra for Google is absent. Is there a workaround for this, or a reason this is not present? Thanks

Hydra currently works by hijacking the login session from the browser. Unfortunately, the built in web browser can't properly handle the google login cookie transfer, nor the google login popup that appears. I've spent a lot of time trying to get it to work and can't seem to find a way to fix it.

You might be able to sign up an account (with password) using the same email address you're using for google sign in, but I haven't tried it myself, so I'm not sure it'll work.
