This has never worked correctly, though a couple of versions ago the symptoms changed slightly - presumably as a result of the way Google does sync.
If you have Google Chrome set up to sync with your online account, all works as expected until you move to a different machine. Then, when you open Google Chrome you see an orange exclamation mark in a square to the right of the spanner (wrench) symbol.
Pulling down that menu you see an error message saying "Sync Error: Update Sync passphrase...". If you click on that the settings tab appears with an "Advanced sync settings" box inviting you to update your passphrase.
If you do that and click on OK, the setting is accepted but a pink stripe then appears on the Settings page under Sign in saying "Account sign-in details are out of date. Sign in again". Clicking on this pops up a box inviting you to re-enter your password. If you do so and click on OK, the settings are accepted.
All is then OK until you change machines again, when you have to go through the whole process afresh.
Is there any way round this?
Regards
Nick
