I know this isn’t really a Zazzle issue, more of a problem with Google, but the last few days I’ve been getting that annoying popup asking me to use Google to sign into Zazzle. I double checked my Google account settings, and I definitely have that option turned off, and I even cleared my cookies, but it still pops up every day. It does it both on my iPad and my computer! So I came on here hoping that maybe someone has found a solution that actually works?

The same has been happening with me, too, and yes, it’s annoying.

But why don’t you want to sign in using the Google account? 🤔
I’ve been getting that as well. It’s very annoying!

A number of us aren’t overly fond of Google.

I find everything works much more cleanly when I sign in directly to Zazzle. For example, I don’t see the captcha test very often. I disabled my Facebook log-in a long time ago when it got frustrating. Why was it frustrating? I can’t recall. As the famous quote says People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.. I don’t remember the particulars I just remember signing in with Facebook made me feel bad. So I don’t use Google to sign in either.

I too have been experiencing this on other sites. Must be Google trying to increase their data load to sell to marketeers. It’s always about the advertising dough.

Just gave that a try. Thank you!
My Zazzle account is separate from Google, and doesn’t even use a gmail email. So I can’t sign in with Google, I need to use my email and password.

Yes, that’s the method I use. Like I said in my original post, I do have that option disabled, but I’m still getting the pop up!
Connie, after disabling this feature, I signed out from my Google account and restarted the device. Also I block pop-ups in settings of every browser I use. Unfortunately, I don’t know what else can be done
Same here, when I signed in this morning. Oh well.
Actually, according to several tech sites that I follow, the website controls the popup, not Google. That google setting does something totally different. If this is actually a zazzle’s choice, and it looks like it is, then it’s pretty awful website design because that popup interferes with the actual login screen—which already has a google sign-in option. The duckduckgo browser apparently blocks the google popup by default if you’re willing to switch browsers.

I finally resorted to using uBlock Origin to block the Google sign-in popup. It works good, but you have to add in the filter to do so manually. I don’t remember what it was off-hand: I had to do a search ti find out what code to use.
