Today I started getting this alert in my notification tray for Chrome sync. I type in my Google password and it says "incorrect passphrase." Is it looking for something else there?

Thank you from Sweden for the useful tip.I'm seeing the same thing on a Nexus 7 (2013) and a Moto G. Checking account information, it appears that Chrome is, in fact, syncing. I think the error message, itself, is an error, perhaps related to the most recent update of the Chrome Android browser.

If anybody was smart enough to read that it's a server problem on Googles end and they are trying to fix it...use a different browser temporarily...problem solved...
You made my day, hahaha, hilarious.Ya know...there's a way of saying the same thing without being quite so patronizing.
Not the least of which is sharing the link where they're supposedly fixing it, since you, oh great one, have already done the arduous work of searching with words...

Thanks for posting here, especially for the sync dumps, they were very helpful in diagnosing the problem. It seems like you have had sync accounts for a long time and it is causing an issue. Can you confirm how long you've had a sync account? It would also be helpful if you post a screenshot of the error message prompt.
The fix is to clear your sync data from the Google dashboard and sign in again on your devices. Can you try doing that? Make sure your bookmarks are available on your local device (computer) before you stop and clear. You can also always back-up (export) your bookmarks so you have a copy of them.
Cheers,
Sarah
