If you use a Chrome-based browser, Google Chrome, Edge Chromium, Brave, or others, you may experience an annoying pop-up Google Sign In Pop Up window asking if you want to log in with your Google account. This is called Google Sign In One Tap and looks like what is pictured below.
This can be immensely frustrating, particularly when you already have a login for the site, and now Google is trying to hijack everything and login yourself. It’s also annoying because random sites with registration that you may never want to register or log in to can attempt to log you in with this Google Sign In notification.
Sites that sign in with Google and prompt with a pop-up style notification window include Best Buy, Medium, eBay, and more than I could list.
The persistence of the login with Google notifications can be frustrating. It seems Google wants you to login to more and more sites, probably in an attempt to collect more data about you.
It’s easy to turn off sign-in with Google/login with Google, but what’s a little unexpected is you don’t need to disable a setting in your browser. Here’s how to stop the sign-in with google pop-up once and for all. This worked for me. But please note, Google can strike direct-deals with some websites to make you login with Google. If you don’t have luck, please know I’m not affiliated with Google and not responsible for how Google implements the login.
Disable Google Sign In Chrome Notification
Just a reminder, this works on all browsers not just Chrome.
- Go to this Google Permissions Page (you must sign into Google).
- Slide the switch to the Off position. It should look like this.
You’re done! The Google Sign In notification prompt will be permanently disabled. You can still log in to sites with Google if you want, you just won’t get that Google Sign In pop up on sites like eBay, Medium, and everywhere else.
Tip: Just remember to do this for any and all accounts using a Google login. That means not just GMail, but if your work uses Google Apps you need to switch off Google Account Sign In prompts on that account as well. The change is account specific and will be effective on any browser you use with that Google account.
The good news is that this will also fix the problem on Chrome mobile. This will stop the sign-in with Google popup.
Alternate Method (Not Recommended)
For completeness, another method some people recommend is using an adblocker to block the Google Sign In notification prompts by blocking this address:
smartlock.google.com
This does work, but it may have unintended secondary consequences. Sharing it, though, because you may want a more brute-force way of blocking those Google Sign-In prompts.
Final Notes
Some websites are overriding the ability to disable sign-in settings, it seems like it’s a back-end thing. The above does work for me but if you are still getting prompts, and have double-checked that you have made the change on all of your Google accounts, as well as checking what permissions you have given websites, then you need to complain to the site about forcing you to login with Google.
Hope all of the above helps.
