You can no longer use gdrive about to sign in; you get a 400 error instead when you try to use the link.

The error message includes details for the developer:

Error 400: invalid_request

The out-of-band (OOB) flow has been blocked in order to keep users secure. Follow the Out-of-Band (OOB) flow migration guide linked in the developer docs below to migrate your app to an alternative method.
