Hey there! That's a pretty interesting bug!

Can you verify that other Google services also treat you as logged in? Specifically sites like Google Drive, and Gmail?

Additionally, does your email show up if you put window.colabUserEmail in the Chrome dev console?

Hi there. I'm also experiencing this issue.

Yes, I can. Everything works except colab.

In the console putting window.colabUserEmail, I got:
"anonymous"

I tried with Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari (also with incognito mode), but I had the same issue

When a group member tried using colab, he logged in, but the main-page of colab (with that demo notebook) was not showing his google account picture/name in the circle on top-right corner of page. Also, when he clicked on "upload notebook", it showed "Google sign-in required", even though he was signed in!

As of now, he cannot access any notebook saved in his drive.

I'm also having a similar issue. My colab main page shows my google account id on top-right. But it is not allowing me to upload/access my notebooks. It says "google sign-in required" even though i'm signed in.

Seems to be system-wide issue!

I got the same result. Still can't access the collab.

Does it persist if you clear your cookies?

[aqibahmad]

It exists -> across browsers, across accounts, across laptops. No way cookies can come into play. Has been happening for 2,3 days now. I cannot do anything at all.

Could be country or IP specific but I doubt so.

Do you happen to have third-party cookies disabled?

[blois]

Just noticed "across browsers, across accounts, across laptops". Looking more.

[katlyn-edwards]

Can you delete the SSID cookie (on colab.research.gooogle.com), and hard reload the page?

Any success guys ?

[kuronekony4n]

Ok so I clear all my cookies and it works :D
And got logged out from all websites :(
My mistake

Edit: I try with other account and doesn't work

[UsmanTariqAlvi]

not in my case.. Its not working after clearing everything.

Try with different account

[aqibahmad]

The issue seems to be resolved for me now.

Another item to try if this happens is to sign out then sign back in from your Google account.
