Chrome multiple login

If you are already logged into Chrome with your own Gmail account then you can skip to the instructions below. If you aren't signed in with any account then start here!

This is a great way to work with more than one Google account (for example - your college @blackpoolsixth.ac.uk account and a personal @gmail.com account) in Chrome without having to sign in and out, or use incognito windows.

You can simply switch between your user profiles.

1. At the top right of your screen next to the three dots, click on the circle with your initial/profile picture and a drop down menu should appear.
   

2. Scroll down to Manage People and then click “Add Person” at the bottom right.
   

3. Choose a user icon and name your profile so it'll be easier to find (e.g., "College Account" or "Personal Gmail")
   

4. You will be prompted to sign in to your Google account in the new profile - this is an optional step that lets you sync your bookmarks, web history, and settings from computer to computer in Chrome.
   Signing into Chrome will also sign you into your Gmail, but if you would rather not sync, you can skip this step and simply visit gmail.com to log in, checking the "keep me signed in" option.
   

5. When you want to open your other profile, click the button with your profile name in the top right corner of Chrome and you will see the option to Switch Person (you can also right click on your profile name to pick from a list of all profiles). For example, the image below shows a profile named "Brown"; clicking it will allow you to open another profile. Mac users can also use the "People" menu in the Chrome menu bar.
   

6. Choosing a different profile will open a new window. You can keep both open simultaneously or close the one you don't want.

Note for Chromebook owners: instead of following these instructions, you'd set up a second profile on the computer instead of within Chrome.
