Sign In With Google - Constant Prompts

yellow131monkgout932

To Preface this post, this is my first on this forum. Apologies if I make any mistakes. Whenever I go to websites such as Reddit, It keeps prompting me to sign in with my Google ID, pulled up from the bottom of the screen. It does this on all websites that are trying to tie into Google SSO. I have the whole play thing sandboxed, and I also have the options turned off On the Google security settings that are supposed to prompt for this. It's getting incredibly annoying as I don't want to use Google for anything other than the Play Store. Why is the stock OS browser on GrapheneOS prompting me to sign in with Google on various websites? It's not just Reddit, I'm getting prompted to any website that's trying to get me to sign in with my Google Play account. I think I've disabled all of the options, but it keeps popping up.

Thanks in advance.

What do you have set in Settings > Passwords, passkeys and autofill? Maybe you have it set to Google?

Are you signed in to the Google account in the web browser? Check by going to https://www.google.com/account/about/?hl=en and tap "Go to Google account" in the top-right corner.

Try disabling third party login in Vanadiums site settings

For this I use Mull (firefox fork) with ublock origin. You have to go to settings and check "Annoyances" to filter them out

It is only set to Proton Pass.

Happened to me today under one profile as well. Likely after the installation of Thunderbird for Gmail (Well, I think). Annoying sign-in popups suddenly appeared almost everywhere when using Vanadium browser. Checking https://account.google.com/phone where I've been able to sign my account out solved the problem. Still a bit concerning that it has signed into Vanadium itself somehow without Google Play. Can anyone explain what I have potentially done wrong? And how to avoid it in the future?

Thunderbird's "sign in with Google" feature opens a custom tab with accounts.google.com in your default web browser in order to connect to your Google account. Custom tabs share state with the default web browser. Since you signed in to google.com in a custom, non-incognito tab, you signed in to google.com in your default web browser. If you enable "open external links in incognito" in Vanadium, and Vanadium is your default web browser, custom tabs will open incognito, but you likely didn't have that option enabled.

Google Play is not required to sign in to a Google account on google.com.

Aha! That makes sense now, and it's actually quite obvious.

fid02 Google Play is not required to sign in to a Google account on google.com.

Yep, that's right!
Thank you.

Edit: I will just add this note for others on how to enable opening external links in incognito: Vanadium->Settings->Privacy and security->Open external links in incognito
