Browser asking to sign in when using GUI

Hey,
Super new to rclone and I'm trying to use the GUI. It worked for a while, I set up a config with my Gdrive and just browsed the interface etc and at one point it said "disconnected" at the top right corner and chrome pops up a sign in box and I have no idea what user/pass it might want me to enter or why it suddenly needs a sign in.
I have the latest version of rclone. Thanks.

When you started that, you had a beautiful template that folks put a lot of effort in that formats a question and collections the right information to help us help you.

Can you please share:

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

Paste command here

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Paste config here

A log from the command with the -vv flag

Paste  log here

Sorry about that, I just thought that it wasn't that applicable to my issue. My bad.

What command are you running to use the GUI?

rclone rcd --rc-web-gui

Can you please run that same command and add "-vv" on the end and share the full output.

If you do not specify a password, it will randomly generate one.

Since you are launching it with a machine with a browser, it's passing in the URL when start it to the browser and logging you in.

If you close said browser, you'd get prompted to login again with the user name and password in the file or you can use:

--rc-user usernamehere
--rc-passwd somepassword

To set it yourself.

Still getting the browser sign in window and it's not accepting the user /pass that I set.
