How To Use Multiple Google Accounts Together in One Web Browser

If you have more than one Google account setup, it can be very annoying having to sign out then back in each time you want to access a specific account. Here take a look at setting up to 3 of your Google accounts that you can use in one browser.


1. To manage multiple Google accounts without having to log in and out each time, navigate to http://google.com/accounts.

2. Then sign in to one of your Gmail Accounts if you’re not already – it might be best to use your Primary account for this.

4. To enable the feature, click the radio button next to On – Use multiple Google Accounts in the same web browser. You’ll also need to check each box to confirm you understand how to use multiple sign-in…then click Save.
Note: When enabling this feature, you’ll need to verify that not all Google products support multiple sign-in, Offline Mail and Offline Calendar is disabled and more. If you want to learn more about ways to use multiple accounts click the Learn More link.

5. After you turn on the multiple accounts feature and save it…you can go back to the Accounts page and click the dropdown menu where you’re primary email account appears. Then click Sign in to another account.

7. Then just repeat the steps for each account you want to use. Here we have 3 already…and you just need to select the one you want without having to log out then back in again. Very convenient!

8. Keep in mind with free Google Accounts you can only use 3 sign-ins. If you try to add more you’ll see the following error message.

9. If you want to start over with different accounts, or just want to turn the feature off, go into the Google Accounts page again, click Off – Use one Google Account at a time…then click Save.

If you have multiple Google Accounts using this feature is easy to setup, and you can switch between them by simply selecting the account you want from the dropdown menu. This feature is indeed a great time saver.
