    Check for these :
    - Was that popup even connected to AL ?

    - Did you install any programs from anywhere besides a place thats owned by sts that could be connected to AL ?
    ( A phishing app that drops your connection and tries to fool you into trying to reconnect through it ? )

    - Perhaps your routers setup page opened ? usually they look similar to what you described . Mine sometimes pops up randomly .

    - Someone messing with your network with mitm ... do you get random security issues/redirects when browsing ?

    Thats all i can think of besides it being a random popup from something you installed . Anyways , causing a dc and then making the user re-type the login info is a popular way to steal passwords so watch out .

    This is normal for me. It asks if you are logged into more than 1 gmail accounts , it can ask you to log in to chrome and connect you to AL.

    I assume you use sts email which does not ask for the details again. I think you accidentally misc licked and was asked to sign in through chrome.

    Yea i just use the login from email, but i was just running a map. The window that poped up was small and in a rectuanglar shape it didnt have to do with chrome or sts which is why i got really curious.

    You really should use and click only the AL icon (assuming you already entered your email and password
    To avoid those kinds of confusion.
