Chromium 53 Won't Stay Logged In

Hello all,
I've upgraded to chromium 53, and logged in my google account (in chromium setting, that is) and everything seems fine.
Upon reboot, I get an error (something like wrong passphrase) and have to login again. This happens on every reboot.
I removed chromium, deleted all local traces, even cleared the google sync cache, but nothing helped.
Only reverting to Chromium 52 made things calm again.
Anyone else noticed something like this?
Thanks, Adam.

I have this problem too.
When I restart my system chromium is unable to read the cookies and I lose all of them (cookies of every sites) at every reboot.

Unfortunately I don't think so.

I had gnome keyring, so I tried to uninstall it but I didn't solved this problem.

This is what I did:

pacman -Rns chromium
rm -R ~/.config/chromium

I rebooted just for security and then reinstalled chromium.
I visited a site that store a cookie.

Now if I close chromium and then reopen it, going to chrome://settings/cookies I can see that the cookie is still here.
But if I reboot my system the cookie is absent.

Of course chromium settings about cookies is set to "Allow local data to be set".

UPDATE: I think I solved removing seahorse and gnome-keyring.
I tried this yesterday but apparently I forgot to reboot after the remove.

I'm getting the same issue. Yes, I do use gnome-keyring and I'd rather continue using it.

If I close the X session and restart it, chrome seems to forget all my cookies. It still has the saved passwords though.

Tried deleting cache and profile but it didn't help. Actually, it only made it worse.

The only thing that worked was to downgrade back to the previous version.

Thanks for the pointer, seems to resolve the issue.

* EDIT *
Chromium 53.0.2785.101-1 solved the issue.

* EDIT 2 *
Still not working, new post.

I was too quick to judge, still not working.
Chromium login itself seems fine, but some sites still doesn't stay logged in (Facebook, this site...).

This has been reported to the Chromium team, so let's see what they do about it.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is … ?id=621378

I think the issue is that Chromium 53 is now saving the login cookies in gnome keyring but then isn't able to find them again when gnome-keyring-daemon is restarted.
