As part of a Google Chrome extension that I'm building I need to be able to tell if a user has signed in to the Google Chrome browser while the extension is enabled.
How can I do this?
Please note that using OAuth2 (and thus, the chrome.identity
API) is beyond the scope of my project so I need to find another way.
EDIT: my question is not a duplicate of this one because the solution in that thread no longer works.
Check if LSID
cookie is set:
chrome.cookies.get({url:'https://accounts.google.com', name:'LSID'}, function(cookie) {
if (cookie) {
console.log('Sign-in cookie:', cookie);
}
});
manifest.json permissions: "cookies", "https://accounts.google.com/"
chrome.identity.getAuthToken({interactive: false}, function (token) {
if (!token) {
if (chrome.runtime.lastError.message.match(/not signed in/)) {
console.log("not singed in");
} else {
console.log("singed in");
}
}
});
And don't forget to add "identity"
to permissions.
