Hello,

I have a new 2021 iMac where I installed Chrome, my favorite browser. The only downside is that every time I restart the computer after 1 day or more, I have to reconnect to my Google account and my professional and personal Gmail accounts. I checked the Chrome preferences and synchronization is enabled, so I don’t know where the issue is coming from...

Thank you in advance for your help.

Configuration: Macintosh / Chrome 99.0.4844.51

    Hello.
    Go to Chrome's settings, then to Security and Privacy, click on Clear browsing data, make sure in the Advanced settings tab that Passwords and other sign-in data is unchecked.

    Then go to chrome://settings/cookies in the browser's address bar, check that automatic data deletion is disabled:

    Hello
    Temporary login passwords are stored in cookies.
    As long as cookies are not deleted, login data is retained, but this is not the case for all sites.
    So, there is likely a process that deletes cookies.
    Otherwise, one can use a password manager to log in to their accounts more quickly.
