We live in a time of smart devices and gadgets. These devices do not ask us to sign in every time we are about to use them. But if they do, it gets really irritating.
Sometimes, you might face this issue with your Google Account. Remember that it only happens if there is some problem in the settings of your Chrome Account. There can be a couple of reasons behind this issue and you can fix them in a few simple steps.
So let us check out what the problem is with your Google Account!
Staying Signed In on Google Account
If you close the browser and every time it asks you to sign in when you enter it again, you can simply change the settings of the browser and fix the issue.
- Sign in to your account.
- Click the three dots you find in the above-right corner of your browser.
- Go to “settings”.
- Click over “Cookies and other site data”.
- Make sure the option “Clear Cookies and site data when you close all windows” is not turned on because that will sign you out every time you turn off the browser.
- Go further beneath to “customized behaviors” and look for “sites that can always use cookies”.
- Add “accounts.google.com” to it.
- Turn off the browser and open it again to check if you have resolved the issue.
How to Stay Signed In with Two People Using the Same Computer
If you are sharing your computer with someone else, you might be well aware of this issue and the problems it brings with it.
You might be signed in to your Google account when it is your turn on the computer, but when you open another website, it automatically switches back to the previous account.
The reason behind this is the Chrome Account. Yes, your Google Account and Chrome account are two different things and you can find the icons for both on the above right corner of your browser page.
Since you are sharing the chrome account with someone else, simply signing out from the Google Account does not make things right.
- You need to sign out of the chrome account by clicking on the above icon that you see in front of the URL bar.
- Sign in with our personal ID and information.
- And now switch between the websites. You will see that you are not hopping between two accounts any further.
- Another option you can try is to go to “settings” by clicking the three dots on your Chrome account.
- Click on “sync and Google services”.
- Look for “allow Chrome sign in” and turn it off.
- This setting will ensure that you remain signed in to your Google account when you are switching between websites on your shared computer.
How to Fix Google Chrome Account “Paused”
This is another common issue faced by many users. If you exit the browser, it shows you a “paused” status beside your chrome icon in the above right corner. This means you have to sign in to your account every time you want to use it. Pretty annoying again…?
Let’s fix it together.
- Sign in to your Google Chrome account.
- Click on the icon that shows your picture, if you have uploaded one, or it will be the first letter of your name, and see if the synchronization is on. If not, then turn it on.
- Click on the same, notorious three dots and open “settings”.
- Go for “Cookies and other site data”. If you are unable to find the option, simply go to the search bar above and right it there and it will search it for you.
- Go to “general settings” and look for “allow all cookies”. Turn it on.
- Next, you must look for “Clear cookies and site data when you close all windows” and disable it.
- The last thing you need to do is to find “sites that can always use cookies” right beneath it and add “accounts.google.com” to it.
- And that’s all. You have done it. Reopen the browser and see. It must not be on “paused” anymore.
- Pat yourself on the back and keep using it for as long as you want.
