Google Auth constantly got reset

[agordeev]

I use Google Chrome and my Google account to authenticate. However, with each new session, my auth got reset. Google Chrome launched as a brand new browser. Is there any fix for this?

Hi @agordeev, thanks for engaging! I've never heard of this issue. Could you elaborate a bit more on 'each new session'? Do you get a new Chrome window after every question? Could you try using a proxy server?

Thanks for the quick answer!

Could you elaborate a bit more on 'each new session'?

A new session with ChatGPT in VSCode.

Do you get a new Chrome window after every question?

No. But every day I get a new Chrome window with my Google account signed out.

I am experiencing the same issue. It would be nice to be able to stay logged in. Unfortently, it doesn't seem the at API option is working well right now either from my experience (see other issue)

A new incognito browser is spawned on every login attempt thus the browser won't remember your saved passwords/login credentials. One thing I can think of to reduce the friction is you can store your email address and password in settings just like the standard openai login method, for google/microsoft logins. Currently the auto-fill only works with standard openai login flow.

Would it suffice your scenarios? I can look into implementing that soon. @DataScientistMSBA @agordeev

@gencay, I prefer to use the API route but the issue with the login methid is that I am using Google to login and don't have a password with OpenAI directly. So everytime I open up your extention, I have to manually login using that method.

I use Google auth with 2FA enabled, so I have to open YouTube app on my phone and confirm a login every time.

Hi @agordeev, I couldn't implement a way to use puppeteer with your default profile. Puppeteer with default Chrome profiles is problematic. It's a WIP, however I can't guarantee it.

However, I was able to add Google/Microsoft authentication flows to the extension to help you autofill the email/password if you prefer. You will now have an option to choose your Authentication Type thru settings (see below). This will help reduce the friction with autologin for Google/Microsoft auth providers.

This feature is now available on v3.2.0 on marketplace. fyi @agordeev @DataScientistMSBA
