       Ask HN: Added Yubikey to Google account and Chrome clears cookies
       weekly
        
       Ever since I added a Yubikey to my Google account, Chrome has been
       clearing all my cookies weekly. I have to login to every single
       website again and again.  Anyone else experienced this?  I dual
       boot Linux/Win11 and use profiles in Chrome for work and personal.
       It clears cookies in all profiles.  I've tried to delete/recreate
       the Chrome profiles and again login to all websites but the issue
       persists. Just now it cleared everything again.  The only extension
       I use is uBlock Origin (with a bunch of whitelisted websites and
       this list doesn't get erased when the cookies are erased).

       | It seems wonky that Chrome would be going out of its way to

       | more plausible that Google is invalidating session tokens on the
       | server side and making you re-authenticate.

       | Otherwise maybe contact yubico support or open a ticket on the
       | Google chrome forums, they provide pretty useful advice.
