Chrome: "Account sign-in details are out of date. Sign in again"

Question

in the latest days my Google chrome for Linux (version 53.0.2785.116 64 bit) doesn't remember my google accounts. Each time I turn off the PC (and not each time I close chrome, I really need to log off and login again) I get to log into all accounts again. The button with my name in the upper right corner has a exclamation mark and, if I go to settings, I see the message "Account sign-in details are out of date. Sign in again"

Now, I don't really know what's happening here. I'm using chrome at the office without any issue, and can't see anything wrong in my google accounts. Also, I tried removing --purge google-chrome and deleting the whole .config/google-chrome folder. Reinstalled chrome, logged in, rebooted the computer, same issue.

Right now I'm using firefox with no issues but... I mean, it's frustrating not being able to use the browser I'd like to.

Do you know what could be the reason of such strange behaviour, and how to work around it?

Thank you Marco

P.S. It seems like it may be an issue due to a very very low expiration token time (now it's the 29th of september, 21:45. It's going to expire in 25 minutes!)

Once I reboot

I tried installing chrome-beta. Nothing. I solved it by installing chromium instead of chrome. Seems to work like a charm :-)
