Chromebook student accounts recurring sign in failure
Despite recent updates to Chromebooks and EE, we continue to have an issue with maintaining student logins. New student Chromebook profiles load EE and student accounts initially connect successfully to the Microsoft/Minecraft login screen.
Students are able to login and play 6, 7, 10+ times after that, but after a random number of successful logins, the process fails at the Sign-in required screen, looping the student back to the same screen. It appears to fail trying to connect to authentication.

- Does not occur on PCs or Macs
- Does occur on all student Chromebooks models over the past year
- No proxy server involved
- All authentication links are whitelisted
- Students can remove profile and add themselves again for a fresh install, but the issue will happen again
- Occurs on school network, hotspots issued to students, and on home/personal wifi
- We do not use SSO, students manually enter their credentials each login.
Super frustrating as we are unable to do any longer term lessons and projects as student work is deleted each time.
This issue was sort of addressed here, but Dan's suggestion is not applicable to this situation. Thanks in advance for any help.

In terms of saving student work... We've been using my teacher computer as the host server and (for the most part) working in that shared world environment that I can save each class... But obviously this isn't workable for every project.
There should be a way to navigate in Chrome to the folder where the local Minecraft worlds are saved. I posted this on Twitter to some ChromeOS gurus I know... that would at least enable 1 of my students to recover a world he collaboratively built on his own Chromebook and does not want to lose:
