I just downloaded it, and can't get past the landing/sign-in page: "Google sign in error.null"

Unfortunately, signing in with Google is the only option.

For some reason this security setting was turned off on my account even though I don't remember turning it off and use sign in with Google in other places.

Unfortunately, I'm still getting the error even after switching this on.

Note that if you have added more than one Google account to your phone, this setting must be enabled for ALL accounts (not just the one you intend to use to activate Beeper Mini) or the "null" error will appear.

Same. Activated Google Account sign-in prompts and the error still appears.

Same as above. Pixel 5, running Android 14. (Edit: the help link provided did not help, as the toggle was already on)

Was able to fix. I have 6+ Google accounts, and one of the accounts didn't have it checked, so it needs to be all, instead of just the account you're looking to connect.

Me too but I have no Google account logged in on my phone. Google shouldn't be the only login option though. Why always the push to give up privacy??

Same. Wanted to sign up immediately but couldn't on a de-googled Pixel.
