Stay Logged Into Multiple Google Accounts at the Same Time


Have you found yourself needing to log out of one Google or Gmail account just to log into another one in the same web browser?

Google just rolled out a great new feature for those of you needing to access multiple Google accounts.  The only way around this problem before was to log out or use a separate web browser to access 2 or more accounts simultaneously.  Here is how to get the new feature enabled in your Google account.

  1. Visit your Google account settings
  2. Under "Multiple Sign-In" click the edit button
  3. Read the important information about multiple sign-ins from Google and then click to enable the feature.
  4. Visit your Gmail account (or refresh it) and you should see a new drop down menu were you can switch to, log in and out of separate Google accounts.  
  • This new feature is super handy for computers that share multiple Google users or someone who has multiple Google accounts for any reason
  • If you don't trust other computer users with your Google account/email/etc, remember to log out when you're done!
  • This multiple sign-in feature works for: Calendar, Code, Gmail, Reader, Sites, and Voice features. Be advised that offline backup will no longer work if you enable this new multiple sign-in feature.
