      Because it’s a security hazard. Someone takes your laptop, opens your browser, boom- you’re logged in to whatever account chrome can.

    This doesn’t work.

    Chrome has been doing a new thing as of about 6-8 months ago where it’s logging in to gmail automatically. Autofill is off. I clear the cache, history, cookies, etc. every time but Chrome still does it.

    I installed a little applet to prevent it, but it’s now doing it again. And it started doing it for Amazon as well. (And probably a bunch of other sites).

      Were you able to get a resolution for it? We are facing the same issue. Autofill is off, but still signs in automatically.

        What if the cookie is already present – tried deleting cookies and see if it still logs you in automatically?

        This was a while ago, but I think I had whitelisted google drive in my browser settings. I wanted it to only work for drive but it was affecting all google services. Maybe look there.

This tool stores login tokens in your browser and means you don’t have to use your password to access sites each time. However, if a threat actor gains access to them – as they did in the attack on LinusTechTips – they can gain access to all of your accounts. Learn how to turn autologin off in this guide. […]
