Must re-login into Gmail every time I open Iron

Post by Lannig »

Hello,

I have this problem on at least two different machines running W10 21H2 64B (fairly fresh install, not much on yet) and Iron versions between 99 and 103.
Iron doesn't keep the logged in status in Gmail between invocations of the browser.
I.e. if I close Iron and re-open it, I have to log into Gmail again.

On the same machine, no such problem in Chrome or Brave browser.

I've seen a similar thread from 2021, with no solution.

I really like Iron. Been using it since versions below 20. But this really is a show stopper for me.

Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance.

Come on, I can't be the only person experiencing this problem, am I?
It's so easily reproduced, showing up right after a fresh W10 install+updates and Iron installation on quite a few computers I've tried.
I have two-factor authentication enabled in Google by the way. But in any other browser on the same machine Gmail doesn't prompt again for authentication until I have not opened it for a while. Certainly not every time I close the browser.
No extension installed in Iron and no configuration made into Iron settings that could explain this.

Please tell me I'm not alone with this :roll:

I have the same problem, I don't have this problem in other browsers.

You are not alone :)

Not just Gmail calendar as well also syncing is paused and re-logging in doesn't fix it ( I suspect this is the root of the problem)

I did this to fix my syncing problem and it also fixed the login in to Goggle apps problem

If you want to test the Sync from Google ("Sign-In"):

1. Go to https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.or ... staccounts with your Google Account:
2. Join the group
3. You can use sync

PS: After joining the group there will be no fancy message. You will still read "You don't have permission to access this content". Don't worry, just try sync, it will work!

Hope it helps
