That's what the GP is saying.

the parent comment to mine at time of writing was just: > It is all green if you do not need to be log in. Giving the impression if you were logged in/didn't need to log in, that everything would be ok.

I apologize for my ambiguous phrasing, and I feel bad that you were downvoted (I reupvoted you, but that’s only one vote).

I wrote too fast because I thought it could help people work around the problem.

Everything is affected. Its Gaia(Google Auth) outage, most probably. Disclaimer - Googler here whose workplace chat is not working.

The nature of this downtime is quite severe. How are Googlers resolving this if their internal communications are down?

I recall that their SREs use IRC?

I can't login to anything via Google Auth this morning.

It reports error that my Google Account can't be found. I thought my account had been deleted!

Seems like everyone going on HN now. The site is so slow

Interesting cascade effect of sites going down! I wonder where people will go next to check if HN is down? Also wondering if this is perhaps the fastest upvoted HN post ever? 8 mins -> ~350 votes, 15 mins -> ~750 votes. I wonder if @dang could chime in with some stats? Update: looks like it hit 1000 upvotes in ~25 mins! Update: 1500 in ~40 mins Update: 2000 in ~1 hour 20 mins (used the HN API for the timestamp)
