Hot Take:

Looks like Google’s ChromeOS just had a little identity crisis and decided to go all “Who am I, and why am I here?” on us. The result? Students and teachers are locked out of their virtual classrooms like they forgot the magic password to Hogwarts. But fear not, Google’s tech wizards are on the case, waving their digital wands to conjure up a fix. Until then, it’s time to hit Ctrl+Z and roll back to the pre-glitch era!

Key Points:

  • ChromeOS version 16328.55.0 is causing authentication headaches for Clever and ClassLink users.
  • Over 22 million students and staff across 3,000 school systems are potentially affected.
  • Google is recommending a temporary rollback to version M138 while they work on a permanent fix.
  • Two-step verification processes are also getting tripped up by this gremlin in the system.
  • No ETA for the fix yet, but stay tuned for updates by Thursday, 2025-08-28.
