How to fix the QuickShortcutMaker and Google account bug

Depending on the version of Google Account Manager you have installed, QuickShortcutMaker will display an error when logging in. This poses a problem for those trying to unlock a device by adding a new Google account. According to our extensive tests, the solution is to install an older version of Google Account Manager.

If you have a fairly recent phone, Google Account Manager is usually unavailable, as it is an obsolete component not included in Android's latest versions. However, if you need to log in from QuickShortcutMaker, you will have no choice but to install it. If you search through the Internet, you will easily find the Google Account Manager 6.0.1 version, which is the one that will help you solve the access error.

Once you have the Google Account Manager 6.0.1 APK, do this:

1. Install the APK.
2. Tap Done when the installation is complete.
3. Open QuickShortcutMaker and locate the Google Account Manager option.
4. Scroll down to find the Enter your email and password activity.
5. On the next screen, tap Test.
6. When you see the text Repeat password, tap on the three dots in the upper right corner and select the only option, i.e., Browser login.
7. Accept Google's privacy policy and complete the login.

After finishing this procedure, you will have added a new Google account to your device. Note that as devices are upgraded and internal Android components are modified, this option will most likely stop working. However, it is worth giving it a shot if your smartphone is stuck with a Google account and you need to add a new one.
