When the browser is opened by atom to complete authentication an issue can arise where Google does not allow sign-in to complete.
In this case, the easiest way to complete setup would have been to add the token manually. Unfortunately, the plugin does not seem to recognise it has a valid token (despite being present in the config) and attempts to go through the same process of opening the browser regardless.
If the plugin checked for an existing token before opening the browser to get one from Medium then it should be able to continue with the upload without needing Google Sign-in.
