Using multiple accounts with Google apps


This actually works very well. Just right click a link and use open in incognito window and presto! No conflict. So I open the CDCEdtech site normally, and my site with the incognito window, no interference. Steve


It isn't possible to sign in to multiple Google Accounts in the same web browser. Here's why:
  • Google uses cookies to keep you signed in to your account.
  • The Google sign-in cookie only lets you sign in with one account at a time.
We know this may be inconvenient for some of you, but below are several workarounds for using multiple accounts at the same time:
  1. Use different browsers for each of your accounts. For example: Google Chromefor your full Google Account and Mozilla Firefox for your personal Google Account. (Not sure what a web browser is? Find out.)
  2. Use Google Chrome's incognito window to sign in to your second account.Note: your history won't be saved while using this option.
  3. Use multiple profiles on Chrome. Learn more.
  4. Use different Firefox profiles. Learn more. (Note that the site you are about to visit is not maintained by Google Inc., but its content might be helpful.)
  5. Explore other ways to manage multiple browser profiles. (Note that the site you are about to visit is not maintained by Google Inc., but its content might be helpful.)
