I have a couple (e.g spam, uni, personal) and it’s so profoundly unhelpful to make me sign into them one at a time by coordinating between 2 or more different devices. an occasional spot check for security would make sense if I was just booted out of one account, but instead it logs me out of every single one at once?? What gives?
Technically, you’re not allowed to have multiple Google accounts from their perspective. So the tooling isn’t setup for it. You’re probably also looking like a bot to them.
I’d suggest using the profile feature in Firefox so you can configure different contexts based on your needs such as a personal, uni and spam profile.
They also sell a hardware authentication device that might help simplify matters. It’s called a Titan Security Key. You would need to research it to find out if it’ll support being bound to multiple accounts.
I use container tabs for that. Makes it easy to keep two logged in accounts side-by-side.
I don’t want to be that guy, but you should think about ditching google, a password manager can easily replace this “just use your gmail account so we can track you and you are locked in forever”
Tap for spoiler
actually, I love being that guy
I love it for you
I will look into it, I’ve been too lazy to do so until now. And now they’ve made switching away from google the most energy/effort efficient option, lol.
I do hate the tracking
Google hates you.
They hate most people, really.
I only ever have to log back in on a device I was logged into if I delete all my cookies or have not logged in on that device in a long time. You’re not deleting your cookies, are you?
I haven’t tried to, maybe it happens automatically on firefox or something
Sounds like Google doesn’t create per-account cookies and uses one cookie set per browser instance, so you’re either logged in or you’re logged out, one account at a time.
Browser containers or profiles might be the answer to what you need.
I’ve been using different Firefox profiles to run accounts in parallel for well over a decade at this point. Containers might be able to do the same thing, but on account of the aforementioned, I’ve stuck with the old way of doing things.
If this is true I wonder the security implications of sharing cookies across multiple accounts?
Idk man I don’t work at Google
I don’t have this issue. It sounds like Larry Page and Sergey Brin just don’t like you
Because I know too much about epstein 😰
I don’t know, I cut those fuckers out of my life.
