Post: Google shares workarounds for auth failures on ChromeOS devices - Against Invaders - Notícias de CyberSecurity para humanos.


<div> <div> <p>Google is working to resolve authentication issues affecting some ChromeOS devices, which are preventing affected users from signing into theirClever and ClassLink accounts.</p> <p>As the company explains in a <a href="https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/incidents/B6TDyZ3a2dhAg59QcpZE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">recently updated incident report</a> on the Google Workspace Status Dashboard, these authentication failures impact devices running version 16328.55.0 with Chrome browser version 139.0.7258.137.</p> <p>These <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/k12sysadmin/comments/1mwh8bb/unable_to_log_into_devices_that_updated_to_chrome/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">issues</a> are <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/1mwjvys/chromeos_139_login_issues/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">disrupting</a> Single <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/k12sysadmin/comments/1mqb1la/chromebook_sign_on_issues/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Sign-On</a> access to Clever and ClassLink educational partner platforms that are used to manage student access to digital resources.</p> <p><a href="http://www.classlink.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ClassLink</a> is used by over 22 million students and staff in more than 3,000 school systems across 50U.S. states and 42 countries, while<a href="http://www.clever.com/about" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Clever</a> is used by over 110,000 schools, including 95 of the largest 100 districts (approximately 60% of U.S. students).</p> <p>&ldquo;Google, a service that works with Clever, is experiencing issues with users being unable to login using their Google credentials for those who updated to ChromeOS 139,&rdquo; Clever also <a href="https://status.clever.com/incidents/78sj7mpmtcj0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">told users</a> in a separate incident report on its official status page.</p> <p>&ldquo;This is preventing users from being able to login to their Clever account. We are monitoring the issue and will provide status updates as they become available.&rdquo;</p> <p>The same authentication problem also affects 2-Step Verification (2SV) processes for some users, potentially blocking access to some Google services that require enhanced security authentication.</p> <h2>Woarkarounds available until a fix rolls out</h2> <p>While its engineering teams are conducting automated testing on a potential solution before releasing the fix to affected users, Google shared two temporary fixes that could help those impacted work around the authentication failures.</p> <p>The first requires administrators to roll back their ChromeOS installation to the previous M138 version, using the detailed instructions provided in <a href="https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/12569990" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this Google support document</a>.</p> <p>To do that, they have to go through the following steps:</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://admin.google.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Sign in</a> with an <em>administrator</em> account to the Google Admin console.</li> <li>Go to Menu &gt; <a href="https://admin.google.com/ac/chrome/settings/device" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Devices &gt; Chrome &gt; Settings &gt; Device settings</a> (which requires having the <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/1219251#mobile" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Mobile Device Management</a> administrator privilege).</li> <li>To apply the setting to all devices, leave the top organizational unit selected. Otherwise, select a child <a href="https://support.google.com/a/topic/1227584" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">organizational unit</a>.</li> <li>Go to <strong>Device update settings</strong> and click <strong>Auto-update settings</strong>.</li> <li>For <strong>Allow devices to automatically update OS version</strong>, select <strong>Allow updates</strong>.</li> <li>For <strong>Target version</strong>, select a ChromeOS version.</li> <li>For <strong>Roll back to target version</strong>, select <strong>Roll back OS</strong>.</li> <li>Click <strong>Roll back OS</strong> and then click <strong>Save</strong>.</li> </ol> <p>To verify that the affected users&rsquo; devices have successfully rolled back, administrators must sign in to a managed ChromeOS device belonging to the organizational unit where rollback was enabled. Then, they should go to Settings and check the OS version in the About ChromeOS dialog.</p> <p>Alternatively, they can also modify the <a href="https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#LoginAuthenticationBehavior" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">LoginAuthenticationBehavior setting</a> to use &ldquo;Authentication via the default GAIA flow,&rdquo; which bypasses the problematic authentication pathway causing these ongoing failures.</p> <p>&ldquo;Fix is undergoing automated testing. Once completed, engineering will validate the results and we&rsquo;ll make the fix available to users,&rdquo; the company added earlier today.&rdquo;We currently don&rsquo;t have ETA for the version with the fix to be available. We will provide an update by Thursday, 2025-08-28 17:30 US/Pacific with current details.&rdquo;</p> <p><a href="https://hubs.li/Q03B5Kw_0" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank"><br /> <img decoding="async" alt="Picus Blue Report 2025" src="https://datalake.azaeo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/blue-report-2025.jpg"><br /> </a> </p> </div></div>
