On Windows 10, Gmail, YouTube, Reddit, etc, all require being authenticated bia my phone to use. This is getting rather tiresome fast.

Why is this happening, and how can I get rid of it.

This happens on my computer, not on my laptop or Shirld TV Pro.

Please, tell me how to kill it.
 
Same internet connection, a B618 router on Supersonic Fixed-LTE-A, computer stays at home.

Computer connects with Ethernet

Laptop uses Wi-Fi

Shield use Ethernet

Cellphone uses Wi-Fi

Computer has to authenticate each time I connect to a service.

A lot of factors, if there’s no VPN.
Assuming same browser, are they on the same version?
Check proxy settings, DNS, if it’s maybe clearing cookies/data on closing.

If you’re doing MFA with Google using the app, the location should be shown when you need to verify it.
Also once logged in, you can view your current sessions from another device to confirm everything is fine.
Ideally though it’s safer to MFA each time.
 
Well eventually I tried other options, then chose recover account, now I just need to log in, each time, which is better.

Edit:

Must still check if this changes things on my Laptop Shield and phone
