If I reboot Ubuntu, then I need to log on each site and into Google Chrome account. What is the reason?
My system is Ubuntu 16.04 and Google Chrome 53.0.2785.101 (64-bit).

Had the same issue. My system is Ubuntu 16.04 and Google Chrome 53.0.2785.101 (64-bit).

Here is my workaround:

  1. Go to Ubuntu System Settings -> Online Accounts
  2. add your Google account there
  3. turned on the switcher (not sure if it is necessary though)
  4. go to Chrome browser and login there again
  5. close the browser window

Note: you must prevent chrome processes from running after closing the window. To do this go to Chrome settings > Advanced settings (at the bottom) > Uncheck 'Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed'

Once I did it Chrome stopped dropping authentication after logging out in Ubuntu and also after rebooting
