Account is unable to use wechat for web

[vzhong]

Hi, I am getting "account is unable to use wechat for web" when I try to login. I think this is related to the web login issue here. Has this been resolved upstream? If so, what's required to fix this in the matrix bridge? Does the Docker image need to be updated and rebuilt?

What version are you using? I believe the latest version of the matrix-appservice has already used the latest version of the wechaty.

Can you follow https://wechaty.js.org/2021/02/20/google-cloud-shell-tutorials/ and see what's the result?

I see the same error when I run that tutorial. Maybe they blocked this method? I see some discussion regarding potentially blocking a fixed extspam in this thread.

Are you using a WeChat account, instead if a WeiXin account?

Normally a WeChat account is registered by a non-China mobile phone number.

Web protocol is only confirm to work with WeiXin account, which is normally registered by a China mobile phone number.

Ahhhhh ok I think I am using a WeChat account

Then try with a WeXin account then I believe everything will get work as expected!

P.S. WeChat account will be able to work with our Windows & Pad protocol, you can learn more from https://wechaty.js.org/docs/puppet-services/ & https://wechaty.js.org/docs/puppet-providers/xp
