Is anyone else having issues with Google and/or Chrome? It is a never-ending battle every time I use my laptop. I've had updates switch settings before, but I am ready to just toss everything.
I used to have just one Google account, the one that my blog is attached to. When I got a smartphone, I did not want to have my blog and home email attached to my phone gmail account, so I have a separate google account for that. For years it was not a problem.
Now I have to log on to my original (blog) account every single time I turn on my laptop. And it wants to sync all my devices. I am a compartmentalist! I do not want all my devices synced!
It has been a nightmare since this all started. First I couldn't get my home email, and that took forever to figure out. Then I had to keep a link in a word document to get into my blog's post pages to make any changes other than just viewing the blog. Now all of my favorites disappeared from my Chrome home page. I get some of them back, but then they disappear again.
I am BLEEPing PI$$ED!
In trying to find an answer I came across an article about AI issues makes it important to switch from using passwords to using passkeys. Oh, joy! Yet another thing I don't understand. I can't keep up. If you don't hear from me, it means either my head has exploded or I've gone offgrid self-preservation mode.
Oh, man. I'm not a techie by any stretch of the imagination, but I can tell you that syncing your accounts may help them run more smoothly in Chrome. Also, check for updates for your computer. A passkey is simple to set up - usually just a four digit pin. Good luck and don't give up!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gina! I've calmed down a little since I vented my hissy fit. :)
DeleteI hope your head doesn’t explode lol! I’m with you on tech frustration and constant increase in complexity though.
ReplyDeleteWell, it hasn't yet...no promises for tomorrow. LOL
DeleteI hate that Google makes it so hard to have more than one email account. I never can get it to work. Also, it's very clunky to try to blog on my phone too. Your frustration is understandable!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I feel affirmed!
