Google oauth - approval_prompt: "auto" not a valid parameter value

[koressak]

Hello,
I have just came across an error (bug perhaps), that in my Django application, usage of the Google social auth login produces and error:

Error 400: invalid_request
Invalid parameter value for approval_prompt: 'auto' is not valid

My usage of the social auth is creating a link in a template:

{% url 'social:begin' 'google-oauth2' %}

No additional special configuration options, nothing.
I suppose that this was due to some Google side change, because yesterday evening, everything worked fine.

Reopening this issue as I closed id upon false confirmation that it works.

Yes, looks like a change on the Google side, this is affecting many sites and auth libraries.

• The error is shown after trying to open a link with 'approval_prompt' = auto thephpleague/oauth2-client#831
• Google approval_prompt enforcement is breaking login thephpleague/oauth2-google#87
• Google oauth - approval_prompt: "auto" not a valid parameter value #248
• approval_prompt: 'auto' is not valid MarkEdmondson1234/googleAuthR#177
• Google OAuth does not support approval_prompt: auto hwi/HWIOAuthBundle#1622

Fix is to remove the approval_prompt=auto parameter or replace it with prompt=
