Chrome Won’t Complete Two-Factor Authentication – Fix Guide

google-chrometwo-factor-authenticationUbuntu

Google recently added the user switcher to the title bar in Chrome. I've enabled 2 factor authentication on my account, however I can no longer sign into Chrome on my Ubuntu laptop.

It shows my name with a yellow exclamation mark, when I click on the button it asks me for my email/password, it then sends me my code to my phone, where I enter the code. However, the box just sits there showing the loading spinner – it never authenticates, nor does it ever show an error.

If I click away the box disappears and I'm back to step 1.

I've been able to get it working OK on my work PC so I can switch between my personal and work Google accounts, it's just on my laptop where it's not working.

Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this? Cheers!

If you go into Chrome's settings, there's a "People" section where you can remove your account. You could also try disconnecting and reconnecting your account.
