I just want to know how does Multi Login Extension works. I already read all the documentation in chrome but I didn't see any Session duplication like multilogin does.
This is the link of this extension.

Thanks.
With MultiLogin installed, there is still a single CookieStore like before. But MultiLogin has its own persistent storage for the cookies that belong to each profile. When a cookie is set, MultiLogin records it and remembers the associated profile. When a link is clicked, MultiLogin intercepts the request and creates an HTTP header for only the cookies in that profile. And when some JavaScript evaluates document.cookie, MultiLogin provides a getter that knows the cookies for that profile.

I have set a cookie from an api and returned it as a response. But the latest version of chrome beta is not letting me to store the cookie. I have also set the SameSite="None" and Secure for considering third party cookies. But this is not getting stored.
Check chrome://settings/content/cookies. You want to ensure that:
"Allow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended)" is enabled
"Block third-party cookies" is disabled
Check the other settings there to ensure that the site is not on the "Block" list.
You should also check that you don't have any extensions that are affecting cookie behaviour. A quick way of generally testing this is to try in Incognito Mode or by creating a new Chrome profile.
Chrome is auto-filling the credentials, but not log me in until I click login. How to automate? (windows, non-google websites).
Using the Chrome Identity API you can have Chrome (on desktop and Android) automatically attempt to log in the user when they hit your page, even if their session has expired.
Following is a workflow diagram of how it works, but the details can be found in the Google Authentication API: Let the user automatically sign back in section:
It is not the browser's responsibility to auto-login to websites. This is the responsibility of the website you are accessing. The browser can remember form data and auto-fill for you, as can various extensions like LastPass.
However, in order to actually auto-login, you must first login to the website you are trying to access and enable the option they provide, often called 'Remember me?'. The website would typically use a cookie to store the credentials (securely with a hash + salt), and if the cookie still exists (not cleared from the browser or expired), and the hash of real password in database matches the one in the cookie, the website will auto-login.
You could force the browser to try and auto-login with extensions, which are essentially macros. You could try Auto Login or iMacros extensions for this. I would generally avoid this though.
Anyone else stumbling into this thread from a google search.... you can do this with autohotkey. If you browse to yourbankhere.com and chrome fills in the user/pass, you can have autohotkey perform a mousemove then a mouseclick to click the login button.
I am working on "Keep Me Log in" part of a site.However, when I close the chrome, only local cookies that I am working on are deleted. Other cookies from other sites remains. Does it have to be like that or is there any option for not-deleting the local cookies?. Thanks.
You need to be more specific.
There's cookies and localStorage, it's 2 different client persistance option. Neither get delete by navigator (Unless you're in private browse).
Cookies have a lifetime, maybe you don't set it right. Are you using a framework that can interferr here ?
Moreover, Chrome doesn't support cookies on localhost.
I'm new to Google Chrome plug in development. I have learnt how to develop a basic plug in. Now the problem is I'm trying to make a plug in that can read saved cookies of a particular website you visit.
For instance, a user visits www.facebook.com, after login he will click on our plug-in icon and a drop down window will appear and show all the cookies saved by Facebook.
Here I want to ask how to read the cookies of the site you are visiting? Is that possible to sort cookies with respect to site you visit?
If yes? Can you provide me a reference of how it could be done?
There is a Cookies API that allows Chrome extensions to access the browser's cookies, without having to send HTTP requests to obtain those cookies. More references
This thread might also be helpful.
I have several accounts for a website and currently I want to write an extension that I can open all the accounts simultaneously in chrome, each tab for one account.
So that means I want each tab with a separate cookie system, is it doable? If so please suggest the API I should use, thanks!
Go to Chrome Preferences. There is a Users section where you can add users. Each new user will have its own cookie jar, so you can log in to a site as many different users at once. It makes new chrome windows, but it seems you cannot drag a tab onto a window of another user.
According to Chrome documentation, you can modify HTTP headers (including cookies) in the onBeforeSendHeaders event handler. So, you need to store new cookies for every account by means of the onHeadersReceived event handler, and then substitute them for every tab in outgoing requests.
There even exists an extension which seems doing almost the thing you want - Chrome Cookie Switcher.
Also I have found an answer that may be helpful for your task: Associate a custom user agent to a specific Google Chrome page/tab.
I really don't think Chrome allows extensions to do this. If I recall correctly, extensions can inspect and block requests, but they can't modify them, such as changing cookies on the fly for each tab.
I suggest you use the --user-data-dir command-line option of Chrome. It allows you to keep several separate profiles, each in its own directory, and then you only need to start chrome with the proper option:
# run this command to use the first profile
google-chrome --user-data-dir=/home/binchen/my_chrome_profiles/my_profile_1
# run this command to use the second profile
google-chrome --user-data-dir=/home/binchen/my_chrome_profiles/my_profile_2
...
Each profile will be in its own Chrome window, with its own cookie store, instead of its own tab, but it's easier than writing an extension.
Lastly, if the website you're mentioning is Google, you can keep several Google accounts open at the same time.
