Starting from March 15th, Google will change access to it’s own APIs like Sync for 3rd Party Chromium-based browser like Iron. Contrary to first news, the access will **not** be cut off, if the person who wants to test it is willing to do a little extra step (joining a mailing list). If you don’t want this, you can of course always use one of the Google-Free alternatives listed below.

If you want to test the Sync from Google (“Sign-In”):

**1. Go to [https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.or … staccounts](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/google-browser-signin-testaccounts) with your Google Account:  
2. Join the group  
3. You can use sync**

PS: After joining the group there will be no fancy message. You will still read “You don’t have permission to access this content”. Don’t worry, just try sync, it will work!

If you want to use a Google-Free Sync/Password-Management Alternative:
