My account was set up using my Gmail account, not a "Sign in with Google."
I did not realize that the system would force me to use the sign-in with Google because i have not had to log in for a while, but I just changed computers, and now every time i try to log in it tells me to use my Google account, instead of giving me a spot to put my password in.

HOW DO I SIGN IN WITHOUT THIS? Most sites just have a login with email option, but no, this one just takes my email and then goes, " Hey, I want to harvest your data, give me. but FFS, your already getting most of it since you scrape everything i type, is that not enough.

EDIT:

So I figured it out. They forced my account over to a Google account. I was able to get onto my old computer and load the page, which, since the extension was active, was still logged in. The account had not been connected to Google, but it was marked as a Google account. i had to change my password, so i could change my email to a nongoogle email, since they deleted the password for these accounts. Once changed over, I was able to log in without a single issue. Talk about greedy and shady. I intentionally created the account as an email-based account, not connected to the data on my Google account, and they forced it. The really shady part is that they do not mention this; they just pop up the page to authorize the info to be shared, as if you have already connected them.

I hate to use the other email since it's not one that has been overwhelmed by spam yet, but I might have to make a second email on that account just to use for stuff like this, since you know they are selling the info too when they use tricks like this.
