Linux on external SSD, Google account disconnect when booting in different computers
Running CachyOS Linux distro on an external ssd. Both computers I boot have similar hardware: 8GB RAM, very similar intel CPU, and I've been booting without problems.
I login in Google's account at laptop 1, when booting on computer 2, the account gets disconnected (I still can see it in the Google accounts list as *disconnected*). This is annoying because I don't have my phone there for 2FA.
I don't know if that's a Firefox issue, and sometimes it doesn't happen. But I'd like to know why it's happening.

Thank you! Greetings from Brazil, Gut.

It's possible the session as stored in your site data is being verified on Google side e.g. for matching IP address or any easily fingerprintable factor that changes when you boot the same profile from a different device.
A workaround might be using containers, and sign into G account in a "green container" on device A, and from within "blue container" using device B, and keep those sessions isolated, e.g. never use green container when plugged into device B and vice versa — that way even using a single profile these two login sessions won't appear as changing devices from Google's point of view.
