why some website unable to login with incognito mode?

There could be several reasons why a website may not allow you to login when you are using
incognito mode in your web browser:

Cookies: When you log in to a website, it often uses cookies to remember your login credentials and
other preferences. However, when you use incognito mode, the browser does not store any cookies
from the current session, which may prevent you from logging in.

Extensions: Some browser extensions can interfere with websites, including preventing you from
logging in. When you use incognito mode, most extensions are disabled by default, which could
explain why the website is not allowing you to log in.

Security measures: Some websites may prevent you from logging in when you are using incognito
mode as a security measure. This could be to prevent unauthorized access or to avoid fraudulent
activities that could be facilitated by anonymous browsing.

User-Agent: Sometimes, websites track user data using the User-Agent header in the HTTP request.
When you are using incognito mode, the User-Agent string may be different, and this could cause
issues when trying to log in.

IP Address: Some websites may limit the number of login attempts from a particular IP address to
prevent unauthorized access. When using incognito mode, your IP address may appear different, and
this could prevent you from logging in.

In summary, there could be several reasons why a website may not allow you to log in when using
incognito mode. It is always best to check with the website's support team or contact the site's
administrator to get further assistance.

google oauth in incognito mode

Google OAuth should work in incognito mode, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
Cookies: Google OAuth requires cookies to function properly. In incognito mode, cookies are deleted
when the session is closed, which means that you may need to log in again the next time you use
incognito mode.

Third-party cookies: By default, many web browsers block third-party cookies in incognito mode. This
means that if the OAuth provider (in this case, Google) uses third-party cookies to authenticate the
user, the authentication process may not work. However, if you allow third-party cookies in your
browser settings, this should not be a problem.

Browser extensions: Some browser extensions may interfere with the OAuth process or prevent you
from logging in. When using incognito mode, most extensions are disabled by default, which could
cause issues when trying to authenticate with Google.

Security measures: Some websites may prevent you from logging in when you are using incognito
mode as a security measure. This could be to prevent unauthorized access or to avoid fraudulent
activities that could be facilitated by anonymous browsing. If this is the case, you may need to switch
to regular browsing mode to authenticate with Google.

In summary, Google OAuth should work in incognito mode, but there are a few things to keep in
mind. If you encounter any issues, you may need to adjust your browser settings or switch to regular
browsing mode.
