the same problem:

“Your browser’s cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on.”

Google probably changed code few days ago.

I cannot log in this way today.

I need to visit Google Analytics website to get a cookie, otherwise I get
"Your browser's cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on."
A value of the hidden element (name="GALX") needs to be submitted. Unfortunately the value is not constant and changes every time the cookie value is changed (remove from browser and revisit website).

Great piece of code!

already used this in my company’s CMS so that clients can automatically login to their analytics account. hopefully Google wont change this!

I have also change a bit of the code so that it will take you automatically to the specific website profile dashboard!

just change the continue field to use your website Profile id instead of 123456789

The problem with the login in a hidden form, is the password on the html page.

For starters, you'll never hear from Google but if this works I'd not remind them that this sort of thing is going on. If they add one of those security

please type what this squiggly image says

dealies the show will be over.

BTW, I'll be implementing a version of your code and I really appreciate your work.

Good post and great idea. I’ve only got about 4 clients genuinely interested in analytics and it’s a right hassle – cheers!

Anyway to take this one step further and bypass the profile listing page and go directly to a prespecified report, with report type (e.g., dashboard) and date range specified? This would be useful for integrating GA into a reporting system, especially if more than 50 profiles — and therefore more than one GA account — are involved.

hi, this is a great tweak for google services. thank you for sharing them. i would like to ask if you could do that with the free email that google offer using my own domain name.

i have sign up for their free email application and i thinking that it is cool if my user can login in our webpage. i have tried to copy the login form source code but google says an error. users need to sign-in at mail.google/a/antique.ph
