This may be old/mistyped user/pwd/login cookies in the Chrome cache. You can try one or both of the following in Chrome:

1. Open an incognito window, which should not use existing credentials, and try login again.
2. History, clear browsing history - preferably everything, since forever - Warning this will require you to renenter user/pwd for all sites.
Chrome deliberately stops you clearing your caches whenever you close Chrome - this is allow google tracking cookies to spy on you. With Google you are the product to be sold to targeted advertizers.

I use Firefox with uBlock ad blocker, AdNauseam tracker protection (Google, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft, to name the main culprits, are always trying to track us- yet people worry about "guvmint surveillance"), and DuckDuckGo as my main search engine.

You may wish to use two different browsers - one for higher security eg emails, banking, shopping and another for visiting dodgier neighbourhoods on the internet eg you probably wouldn't want to wear expensive jewellry, take all your credit cards or display expensive watches, cameras or phones in certain physical places.
