Question Why does Brave ask for it and Firefox does not?

[Morro]

OK, I had noticed it this weekend already, but I only remembered today to ask about this.

When I want to go to my Google Agenda in Brave, I get the screen that asks with which Google account I want to log in for the Agenda. Now I only have one Google account and I have so far never made a second e-mail in Gmail. Also, I always log in to Gmail immediately after I start Brave, with a Pass Key. Google Agenda is Google, so as far as I know that would mean that it should also be logged in?

The weird thing is, in Brave it seems that Only Google Agenda does not get logged in. Google Maps … Translate and MyDrive are logged in as well as soon as I log in to Gmail in Brave, just not Google Agenda? When I log in to Gmail in Firefox, then all services including Google Agenda are logged in? After I noticed this, I had Bitdefender TS scan my PC, and all was clean. Which I already expected, since this is an unusual thing happening to one Google service in Brave. (And nowhere else.)

Does anyone have an idea as to why this happens in Brave to one Google service but not in Firefox? And until I know if this problem is not a problem. I will not log in to Google Agenda in Brave. (Maybe I am a bit paranoid right now, but I want to be certain that nothing is wrong.

By Google Agenda you mean Google Calendar, right?

Must have something to do with cookies. I'd recommend clearing all cache and cookies, and trying again. I don't have Gmail account, but I do have normal Google account registered on other e-mail address and it signed me with Brave, in Google Calendar too, without the need to sign in again. Also, confirm you're on the right Google Calendar address.

 

[Morro]

Yes, I do mean Google Calendar.

I will clear all and see if that solves it.

It may have something to do with the ephemeral storage technique used by Brave, so check your Forget Me Not settings both globally and per-site.

I don't know if this will fix it, but check brave shield cookies settings, maybe you block all cookies for Google calendar, you can check from here:



if nothing here, you can enable all cookies for Google calendar from the shield settings in google calendar page:


Hope this will fix it.

Thank you all, I had to use a combo of your advice to solve it. After I cleared everything including cookies, the Calendar would still ask for a login account, but once I had logged into Gmail and then set Brave Shields to allow all cookies on Gmail, Google Calendar was logged in. Weird but it works now, so again thank you all.
