The extension works well, even with 2FA login. There is however a problem with the login that is not maintained when I suspend my PC. Every time I reactivate my PC after a suspension, the extension has done a logout, and I have to login again. IT seems that the checkbox "Remember me" has no effect.
I'm using the extension with the Vivaldi Browser on KDE Linux, Wayland session.

Today, 25th January 2022 I got an e-mail from pCloud "pCloud: What’s New? - How to Save directly from the WEB to pCloud?"
What a nonsense. This extension isn't new, but already exists since 2019 and still doesn't work with Multi-Factor Authentication enabled.
There's no mention at all of this error in the e-mail nor on the website of pCloud, notwithstanding that the pCloud is already aware of this since the introduction of this extension.
From the 33 reviews, 8 reviews mention the 2-step authentication. Joe Philipps (19 Sept 2021) says it very well: "When you tell a user who enters a provably correct user ID and passphrase that it's not good, because you simply didn't have the foresight to anticipate multifactor authentication, that's bad information. For a company that CHARGES EXTRA for an encryption service, you'd think they know a thing or two about security. I'm not going to lower my security standards by disabling 2FA so that I can run a stupid Chrome extension."
Moreover, this extension is useless even if it works for those people who don't use 2FA. Just read the comments of Lexi (23 Oct 2021): "I don't like that pCloud Save doesn't let you choose the location to save to... You end up with a bunch of auto-created folders auto-named based on the origin location, then you have to go into pCloud and move everything to where you want. It's not necessarily easier than downloading everything to your hard drive and manually uploading to your pCloud folders."

So, pCloud... why do you send an e-mail four years after the introduction of an extension in which you pretend to introduce a new extension which is already four years old and, moreover, still has the error that it can't be used with 2FA but is also completely useless as it doesn't let the user decide where to save files in pCloud.

I just removed it again as I already did four years ago!

Not working in Chrome.
The pCloud icon show up shortly, in the extensions toolbar, in a glimpse, but dissapears:
No shortcut to see for saving direct to pCloud.
I tried disavbling/enabling, restart browser and googled a bit without any solutions/explanation.

There's a bug, when I choose remember me, can't login to my account, the extension kicks me out.
But when I don't choose remember me, it works for me.
Please fix this bug

It's my first time using the pCloud Chrome browser extension. I'm hoping it's just that this is a new extension and these issues will be worked out over time, because I like pCloud storage a lot so far and would like to keep using it.

I don't like that pCloud Save doesn't let you choose the location to save to... You end up with a bunch of auto-created folders auto-named based on the origin location, then you have to go into pCloud and move everything to where you want. It's not necessarily easier than downloading everything to your hard drive and manually uploading to your pCloud folders.

The extension also saved some images as weird slideshows (looks like a Tetris layout of the image repeated a few times) and froze up on one page so that I had to refresh to be able to scroll or do anything. For a first time use, this was discouraging!

I tried multiple times to login but I always get an error. Would be great to save files to pcloud. Please fix your bugs.

tells me my username and/or password is incorrect, even though it is provably so. I use a password manager program, and pasted my passphrase into the login dialog, then filled in my username very carefully, triple checked, yet when clicking the login button, it refuses to log in. Use the very same credentials in any Web browser, it succeeds. I would have to guess it's because I have multifactor authentication enabled (as virtually everyone should!). I can't even test if, I would have paid for the crypto service, this extension would prompt for my additional crypto passphrase,;it won't let me get that far (I still have a few days left of my free trial). If it can't even properly handle basic login, somehow I doubt it would handle that additional passphrase.
