Question: When you open chrome manually, you usually expect your account to stay logged in from last time right?
How do you do that with selenium and python? Currently I'm loading the user profile via the following, and the 'current user' is 'not signed in'

```
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\ME\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, 
    executable_path='C:\chromedriver.exe')

```

What am I missing?

Answer: 
Found the problem.
After I check chrome://version in the python launched instance. The profile there was actually

```
'C:\Users\ME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Default'

```

Notice the two default at the end. To solve it, remove the default for 'user-data-dir'
i.e.

```
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\ME\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\")

```
Hm, looks nice your side  

Try adding this 2 lines

```
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ['enable-automation']) 
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["ignore-certificate-errors", "safebrowsing-disable-download-protection", "safebrowsing-disable-auto-update", "disable-client-side-phishing-detection"])

```
