You should not be using browsers to store your usernames and passwords.
After quitting all applications and restarting the computer . . .
I would be sure to save username-and-password combinations in some “password wallet” - IOW, not in some browser feature that saves passwords.
Save the bookmarks and back up that bookmarks.html file, including making a .zip copy.
Completely remove the application and delete sundry cookies, cashes, settings files - everything I can find, searching online for tips on how to find that peripheral stuff.
Do that for all Chormium based Internet browsers on the computer.
Run a cache cleaner.
Restart the computer.
Then install only 1 of the Chromium Internet browsers that you favor, and see what results.
Have you tried this?
1. Go to “My Account” : “Security” ( https://myaccount.google.com/security )
2. Click on “See all connections” link in “Your connections to third party apps & services”
3. Click on the gear at the top of the “Third party apps & services” page
4. Disable the “Signing in with Google” prompt
Well, like I said, I have two identical models of Win 10. One of them works fine. The other one gives me similar fits. So I am not sure what my issue is or how it may relate to yours. A lot of people complain about Win 10. I would’ve stayed with Win7 but forced upgrade due to various industry software... I’ve adapted to Win10 just fine on 4 other machines but one of them just has a screw loose. Maybe I’ll take a chance this weekend and upgrade that buggy one to Win11 and see if that cures it. I took it off the network.
Just remind me to side load a copy of the hard drive before I try :-)
Nope, and thing is, it only happens with Google apps, nothing else.
That’s the only way I survive. I got too many accounts to remember the username and password for each. Granted I do have them located in a spreadsheet on my computer, but entering them is too much of a hassle.
Did you do post 23?
Just did. Did not fix the problem.
It does sound like that. Definitely cookie related, whatever the cause.
Stop using Google anything. Brave is a good browser, but you must have a 64 bit system.
I don’t use the Google web browser at all. From my days working for the government, I developed an intense hatred for it. I have Brave and Slimjet, two Chromium based browsers, and Palemoon, a Mozilla fork.
Why is everyone down on cookies? Sure I love cookies and yes, they do leave some crumbs on the keyboard but I blow them off with dust remover (don’t blow the propellant into plastic bag and inhale it). Oreos, vanilla wafers and even fig newtons (for the fiber). I re-imagined Clint Eastwood movies as “Fistful of Cookies” and “For a Few Cookies More”.
You should not be using ANYTHING Google if you can avoid it.
Try turning off all your extensions.
Same result
Go to You tube or maps and click the lock symbol (site information) on the search bar and check what the manage cookies says about the cookies being allowed or whatever.
Now you lost me. I don’t know what you’re referring to.
In the Brave search if you go to You tube (or any site) there is a symbol to the left of the word, in Chrome it is a lock, in Brave it looks like two magnifying glasses, click it and there is a drop down.
In the drop down click on ‘cookie and site data’ where you will see two different cookie categories and what happens with them, see what your say.
Do you? I wouldn’t use any browser that wants a Google account.
Not aimed at you but I think part of the problem is most people think you have to register with a browser. YOU DO NOT. NEVER REGISTER AND GET A BROWSER ACCOUNT.
Just use it without an account registered.
I think that question was a two parter. I don’t use a Google account to sign into the browsers in question, just a username and password. I use my Google account to sign into Google Maps, Google webmail, but what Google has done is not saving log in credentials when signing to websites like Google Maps where it did before, no matter what your username or password is.
