Reauthenticating Google Workspace (Gmail) Accounts

Last updated on 12 May 2025

Google Workspaces (Gmail)

Google Workspace app accounts, by default, will ask users to re-authenticate every two weeks. You can find out more about this on the GSuite blog here. If you're a Google Workspace admin or just a user of a Google Workspace account, some different options can help you log back in quickly.

This article talks specifically about Google Workspace accounts. If you're using a personal Gmail account (.e.g your email address ends in @gmail.com) this does not apply.

Change the duration of web sessions

If you're a Google Workspace admin, you can change this behavior by specifying the duration of web sessions for Google Services, as described in this Google Help article here. This will change the session length for all your Google Workspace users, across all web sessions, not just Wavebox.

Make signing in faster

If you're not a Google Workspace admin or are unable to change the session length, we recommend making signing-in as fast as possible. You can use the built-in password manager that Wavebox includes, or your favourite password manager extension by installing it from the Chrome Web Store.

To use the built-in password manager, click on the Wavebox Menu in the top right of any window, then select Passwords and Autofill, and finally Password Manager.
