How To Manage Multiple Google Accounts In The Browser?

Most People Have Multiple Google Accounts, Either For Work Use Or As A Backup Email Address, And Due To The Way Modern Browsers Handle Input, Activating Multiple Accounts Can Be Confusing When Using Sites Like Gmail And Google Docs.

Google services include a simple website navigation mechanism and applications applicable to any browser.

In addition, browsers (especially Chrome) have features to keep different accounts separate to know their working process and categorization.

Change user account

Regardless of the browser used, multiple Google accounts can be managed in them. For this purpose:

Also, it is possible to open sites related to different Google accounts simultaneously in separate tabs and windows next to each other. The only significant issue is to verify each account by looking at the account image in the upper right corner of each page. To access password and security settings, click your account icon and select Manage your Google Account.

These Google accounts will remain available in your browser until you delete them. Follow the steps below to delete the invoice:

Google Chrome profiles

In Google Chrome, the browser works on two levels with Google accounts and manages the entered websites from the account’s and browser’s points of view. A Google Account connected to Chrome saves all your browsing history, passwords, bookmarks, and other data from syncing information between devices.

By adding a new Google account in Chrome, the user will be asked about creating a new Chrome profile. This profiling means a profound separation of Google accounts and different tabs open in different browser windows with title bars in various colors; the user has access to all synchronized bookmarks, browsing history, and passwords of other Google reports right in Chrome, and instead of Opening different versions in different tabs will have separate instances of your browser.

It is also possible to not create a new Chrome profile at first and to do so in the future by clicking on the profile picture icon in the browser toolbar and managing them.

For this purpose, click the icon above the image icon on the right side of the Chrome address bar on websites like Gmail and select the Add option to create a new profile in Chrome. You can also choose a profile to use or click the gear icon to manage your profiles.

Deleting a profile deletes all browsing data from the local version of Chrome but not from other devices using that Google Account or Google Accounts on the web. This process works the same as when you sign out of Chrome completely.

To delete a profile:

How to manage Google accounts in Chrome depends on the user. For example, if he wants, he can create profiles for some reports and not for others. And it depends on the user’s willingness to separate Google accounts and switch between them and the need to extract data such as browsing history and passwords stored in these accounts.

Profiles in Edge and Firefox

Browsers like Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox have options similar to Chrome profiles, but they are not inherently linked to Google accounts like Chrome.

For example, click your profile picture icon in the upper-right corner in Edge and select Other profiles  >  Add Profile>  Add. In this section, you can assign a separate name and image to each Profile and, if necessary, connect a Microsoft account to them.

You can switch between different Edge profiles and configure them via the gear icon by clicking on the profile picture in the upper right corner of the address bar. Each Profile opens in a separate browser window. Then, if you log into different Google accounts from the same Profile in Edge, the browser will save the login information.

Multi-Account Containers are the same Profile in Firefox and require an official Firefox plugin to activate. After installing the plugin, click on its icon on the right side of the address bar. In this section, Firefox creates containers such as Personal and Work for you. Click Manage Containers and create, delete, or reconfigure them.

These containers work like Edge profiles and can hold separate Google accounts.

However, unlike Edge, tabs from different containers can be placed side by side in the same browser window, and distinctive colors at the top of each account will distinguish them.

Although this feature in Edge and Firefox is not as comprehensive as Chrome’s Profile, they make it a little easier to use different Google accounts in the same browser.
