Did you perhaps perform a single login for a Google mailbox or something on the same device?

I experienced this with having done OAuth for opening a Google mailbox in Thunderbird. Then suddenly Maps starting asking if I was really that Google account when I just opened an anonymous web interface in Firefox (or so I thought).

Those OAuth flows are not done in a throw away web view, so they can store info for later. i had to clean out the entire Firefox profile.
