Google logins recaptchs, and cookies?

Unread post by faithbuilders » 2019-01-20, 20:58

This is a two part question.

1.) two days ago, suddenly, with no warning, I can no long access any site with the google "I'm not a robot" recaptcha. Why.... because that question does not show up, there is no "I'm not a robot" question, and no check box! It is not just in PM, I have tried other browsers also with that same results.... the recaptchas work fine on my laptop, but not on my desk top. What could cause that??? I do not know.

I thought perhaps a virus; so I ran a couple of checkers, including, "search & Destroy"! No viruses were found! But I forgot to turn OFF the setting to deleate ALL cookies..... So when I ran Search & Destroy it also deleted all my cookies, including my login cookies: That brings my to the second question....

2.) I also now can no longer login to any Google sites, including Google itself, nor YouTube! I click "sign in" it works, I enter my email, then I click next.... and nothing happens nothing at all, it does not even hint that "next" has been clicked......... :thumbdown:

This is very frustrating, it was working, and then the same day it was not.... Grrrrr Hope this makes cense to someone, cause I could sure use some help!

I also ran Window restore to a point before this nightmare - but that did not help!

1. Take clean portable browser and try
2. Check that connection is not tampered inside, try boot some livecd or usb.
3. Same but outside, maybe by sites that show your ip and compare with the laptop. DO NOT login until you confirm.

By the way i never keep cookies and have not such problems with login.

I don't understand most of that, I only started using my laptop AFTER the problems started. Like I said, it all started two days ago, about half way through the day. I don't have issues logging any other place just Google sites, I think it is somehow connected to the recaptcha not working.

Download portable browser: http://www.palemoon.org/download.php?mi ... e=portable
Unpack then, launch, enter https://www.google.com, notice that https matters, and try sign in from there, as i know the captcha is not required there.

Thanks, but Google would not sign in (get past the "next" button) in the portable browser ether.

So on the laptop you sure can sign in, but on desktop not. Do you connect via the same network as on the desktop? Then wrong things are going on the desktops, you are to check that, boot safe mode with network or from the livecd or usb, try sign in then.

not really sure if this is a good thread, but i didn't really want to start one since this is also related to google/yt.

for some reason now my gmail will randomly break. hangouts will stop working necessitating a page reload, and on youtube i get signed out and sent to an error page on refresh (despite tab lock being on).
