Cannot authorize Zotero Connector

Have been attempting to authorize the Zotero Connector, but I get the error message "Zotero Connector is not currently authorized to save items to zotero.org. You will be prompted for authorization if you try to save items while Zotero is not open." as per the image attached

What's the actual problem that you're experiencing? You don't need to do anything there.

I got the same when I attempted to follow the steps from this page
https://www.zotero.org/support/connector_preferences

I am using Chrome.

Again, you would have to say what the actual problem is. That message isn't an error.

Zotero Connector is not currently authorized to save items to zotero.org. You will be prompted for authorization if you try to save items while Zotero is not open
What is this information

@Geethasan: It's just telling you that Zotero isn't currently saving directly to the online library. As I say above, that's the normal state and not an error — Zotero normally saves to the Zotero desktop app. If you're experiencing some problem, please start a new thread and explain the problem. See Reporting Problems.
