Gemini Code Assist: Sign in not working

[user1600]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Signed in via browser by clicking the “Sign in” button. The browser told me that it was successfully authorized. However, the plugin does not recognize it. When clicking the “…” button, it says “Sign out” (see screenshot) → i.e. the sign in somehow worked but the plugin does not show it.

Why am I reporting it here as a bug? Because in VSC it works.

Steps to Reproduce

Click sign in, follow browser link.

Expected Behavior

Don’t show the sign in screen after successfull signing in.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. I can see you’re running into a sign-in issue with Gemini Code Assist. It’s a Google extension, and sometimes the auth state can get out of sync.

Please try these steps:

1. Sign out completely: click “…” → “Sign out”
2. Fully restart Cursor (close all windows)
3. Open Cursor again and try signing in via the browser
4. If that doesn’t help, reinstall the Gemini Code Assist extension (uninstall it, then install it again from Extensions)

If it still happens after that, you can also try:

• Check for conflicts with other extensions by temporarily disabling the others
• Check logs: Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console (you may see auth errors)

Let me know if this helped.

Hi Dean Ri,

Thanks, I tried everything you described. Didn’t work. Please see the console output with workbench errors.
