At this time, you can follow the method below to solve this problem:
First, install this open-source browser extension lqzhgood/wechat-need-web on Github, which supports Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
Go to the page, click on the right Releases to find and download the version that corresponds to your device:
Due to the fact that this extension is not available in the plugin market, some browsers may require manual installation.
- Firefox supports direct download of .xpi files from the webpage for installation, just click Add directly

- Download the chrome.zip file, unzip it and save the folder somewhere

If you still can't log in after installing this extension, please check the following:

- Make sure your account is not restricted
