Have to log in to Chrome every time it starts after setting up Google Authenticator [OSX]

Question

A while back, I set up 2FA with Google Authenticator. Now, every time Chrome starts, I need to log in to Chrome again to ensure Chrome sync is running. Is there a way I can trust Chrome to ensure it auto logs in on start up?

1. Quit Google Chrome completely.
2. In the Mac menu bar at the top of the screen, click Go.
3. Select Go to Folder.
4. Enter the following directories in the text field, then press Go. ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/
5. Locate the folder called "Default" in the directory window that opens and rename it as "Backup default."
6. Try opening Google Chrome again. A new "Default" folder is automatically created as you start using the browser.
