Suspicious sign in prevented

    Hello,
    I updated the plugin last night and received an e-mail from today saying there had been a “suspicious sign in prevented”. The details point to the sign in attempt knowing the exact password (no failed attempts), and the source being my web hosting in the US (I am in the UK). What’s more, the blocked attempt was seconds after a post appeared on my website. I am guessing therefore that the plugin WPGPlus tried to login to post to Google+ and was prevented.
    Is this expected by you and am I OK to agree to future sign-ins or will it cause me security issues?
    Thanks!

  • I had this too.

    Plugin couldn’t post to Google+.

    I guess its a dud?

    Google has changed the way Google interacts with mobile.

    Because Google does not provide a read/write API for Google, the only way this plugin can operate is by impersonating a mobile web browser and logging in on your behalf from your server.

    Google doesn’t want this, and thus keeps changing the parameters for logging in – and I (the plugin author) haven’t had time to keep up with their changes.

    Sorry, but until they offer a true read/write API for google+ this plugin will be at best hit/miss and certainly unreliable – that’s why I never called it 1.0.

    Patches welcome. ??
