Signing In To Two Gmail Accounts At The Same Time

With the countless number of free google services around, you might be forced to have more than just one google account. You might even have two gmail accounts for different purposes. I, for example, have a normal google account for this blog plus a couple of other google services I regularly use and another google apps account on which my business email is hosted. Sometimes I need to sign in to both accounts but switching between accounts will make one log out and log in countless times. Also, using different browsers to access your different google accounts isn’t the perfect solution. Did you know it’s possible to use to google account (or gmail accounts) at the same time on the same browser?

You do not need a browser add-on to get this done, just go to Google Account Multiple Sessions settings page. From this page you can turn on the settings that enable you to use two google accounts on the same browser at the same time.

 

You have to agree to some times before you’re allowed to use this multiple sign in feature.

• The account you’re currently using is displayed at the top of most Google product pages, or at the bottom of most pages on mobile devices. Always check to make sure you’re using the account you want.
• Not all Google products support multiple sign-in. When switching between Google products, the account you’re currently using may change.
• Google products not listed above will default to the first account that you signed in to using your current web browser session.
• Offline Mail and Offline Calendar will be disabled. You may lose any unsent mail.

After enabling multiple sign in for either of your accounts, you can switch between either of your google accounts by clicking on the arrow beside your email displayed at the top-right corner. It might be necessary to log out of your accounts for this change to take effect.

 

This doesn’t work with browser cookies and the settings automatically follow you from computer to computer, making it easy to use two gmail accounts at once.
