still broken on Version 0.65.118 Chromium: 75.0.3770.80 (Official Build) (64-bit)

(Still) broken on Version 0.64.77 Chromium: 74.0.3729.169 (Official Build) (64-bit).

Still facing this issue and none of the suggested solutions works.

When I enable Allow Google login for extensions I keep getting the Google login screen and the extension doesn’t work. Can anyone suggest any workaround for this?

Work will resume on this shortly, stay tuned!

Largely this issue and a lot of other polish issues is why I stopped using Brave. Would love to use Brave, but I can’t sacrifice productivity extensions just for privacy principles.

I was just getting the hinge of google keep and wanted to have it on the desktop.

I{ll find something for😑 KDE.

Thanks for the report @jtnydv - I verified that this is a regression. Tracking the issue here: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/14041 - Will try to resolve this soon.

In case any one else is stuck at the same point - emphasising part of @GeetaSarvadnya post - it’s essential that that Allow Google login for extensions has been enabled in settings. As this was blocking it for me and clicking ‘sign in’ on the keep extension did not prompt this setting request

@LaurenWags - Updated the label and the test plan.

Thanks for your patience folks - @jumde has a solution but we put that on hold while implementing Sync v2. The new sync implementation also has authentication code (ex: using DICE/GAIA) which needed to be resolved before we can pick this back up. Work in progress at https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/5616

Seems like this was a cookie problem. To fix, I deleted all “google” cookies and re-logged in to my primary (gmail), google apps, and finally alumni account. Note: I did not log out of the extension (not sure if it’s a separate cookie or not) but it continued working. I was also able to authenticate Google Backup & Sync. Everything seems to be working now. Thanks for the responsiveness to this and for making Keep work.

@foodfan (love the name) - just to confirm, you’re on Beta or Nightly? This code hasn’t reached Release (1.13) channel yet

Haha, thanks.

I am on the Beta channel. Version 1.14.65 Chromium: 85.0.4183.83 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)

Hope that helps
