When logging in to the app, using 2FA will send a message to another device to confirm the login request. However, instead of displaying the correct info for the machine used to login (Windows, Laptop Name), all that was reported was a nondescript "Mac" machine. The reported location was correct, however. This same info is accessible from the Google Account/Security If this is intended, explain so on the download page or in the app to prevent confusion and worry over unspecified login attempts.

Yes, in fact to prevent Google from blocking the login, there is Mac user agent, but the problem is that isn't explained correctly...
Here are two solutions:

  • Advert the user the login is "made" by a Mac (a false Mac);
  • Detect platform and send to Google Login an user agent that respects the platform detected (ex. Windows as Windows, etc. and not Windows as Mac)
