Google Chrome desktop browser keeps "pausing" sign in

Solution 1:

There have been reports that breaking the link between the Google Account in Chrome that is used to sync data and Google accounts on Internet sites may solve this problem:

  • In Chrome, enter chrome://flags/#account-consistency in the address bar
  • The flag "Identity consistency between browser and cookie jar" should be displayed at the top all in yellow
  • Click the drop-down button and set it to "Disabled"
  • Restart Chrome

If that doesn't help, disabling the sign-in and out link between Chrome and other Google services might also help:

  • Navigate in Chrome to chrome://flags
  • At the bottom of the page click Advanced
  • Under "Privacy and security", toggle "Allow Chrome sign-in" so it becomes grey
  • Restart Chrome
