Aside from forwarding your email to a single Gmail account, you can use browser extensions or manage the settings in Gmail to allow multiple account access without the inconveniences you are currently experiencing.

The following methods are mostly meant for accessing several Google accounts for email. Some of the other apps accessed when you are logged into your Google Account may not work.

Quick Login for Google Accounts

For this first fix, you will need to use Google Chrome (browser). The Quick Login for Google Accounts extension will allow you to access several different Google Accounts. This is ideal because you can have a browser window open and have a tab for each Google account.

Setup

1. After adding the extension to Chrome, click the new icon in the top right corner of the browser window, then on options.

2. In the name column, enter something to help you differentiate the account from the others. I chose personal, maketecheasier and untetheredoffice as the names for mine.

3. In the next box over, you will need to put your login user name. You do not need the @gmail.com or @yourgoogleappname

4. Add your login password in the next box to the right.

5. If you are using Google Apps for a business, you will need to tell the extension where the login page is. To do this, you need to click show advanced options. Another row will appear. In this row, you can paste or type the page you visit to log into your business email.

6. After all the information is entered and saved, you can try it out. Click on the Quick login icon again and choose an account to log into.

Multiple Account Sign in

Another option to enable the multiple account login option in your Google Account settings. This way will not tie you to a single browser or even computer. Remember, you will need to sign out of these accounts as well. So if you are one of those people who ticks the remember me or keep me logged in buttons, make sure you actually  log out. If you don’t,  you will have a lot of email accounts accessible to anyone else using that computer.

Setup

The setup is pretty easy for this one. Sign into your Gmail or Google Docs or some other Google application. In the top right you will see your name. Click on it to show a drop down.

1. In this drop down, there will be an option to access your Account settings.

2. Once in the settings, you will see the option to edit the Multiple sign-in.

3. You will need to log into each Google Account you’d like to access and enable this option.

4. When you have all of the accounts enabled, you can sign into multiple accounts by clicking on your name in the top right again then switch accounts.

5. you will see an option to sign into another account.

You should have access to a good number of the Google application for the other accounts you are accessing.

Conclusion

The whole point of doing this is to make accessing your multiple accounts easier. If you can reply to emails or access your documents with ease, it will shave time off of your tasks. These two options may help you save a little time while freeing up resources on your computer by not having so many browsers running at the same time.

Creating multiple login accounts on a website is never an issue. Accessing them simultaneously is. Most browsers have their own centralized cookie management system. When you are logged in to a website in one instances, you won’t be able to login to the same website using another account, even if you open a new tab or window. Personally, I have more than 2 Gmail accounts, Yahoo accounts, Facebook accounts and multiple login IDs to my own blog. There are times when I need to login to different accounts to access a particular emails, or to check the setting/status of the other accounts. Below are some of the ways that I used to access to different accounts (of the same website ) simultaneously.

Install multiple browsers

This is definitely not the most effective method, but it is surely one method that works 100% of the time. Since all browsers have their own cookie management system, you can easily login to one account in Firefox, and another in IE/Chrome/Opera/Safari etc. The downside of this is that they clutter up your desktop, take up lot of memory and storage space.

Firefox

To be able to login to various accounts in Firefox, the best way is to install the extension CookiePie. What it does is to create different instances of cookies in different tabs and windows so you can login to the same website with different login ID simultaneously.

1. Install the CookiePie extension from the Nektra site.

2. In the current tab, login to your account with the primary ID

3. Open a new tab, right click at the tab and select Toggle On/Off Cookiepie.

You will now see a cookie on the tab.

4. On this new tab, you can now go to the same website and login with another ID.

Note: CookiePie conflicts with some of the extensions, like Tab mix plus and TooManyTabs. It might not work properly with these extensions.

Internet Explorer 8

Internet Explorer 8 comes with a New Session mode that allows you to start a new window with a brand new session.

Open IE8, go to the URl of the site and login with your first ID.

Go to File->New session. This will open a new window. Navigate to the same site and you should be able to login with another ID.

Google Chrome

Google Chrome comes with a incognito mode that allows you to login to two different instances of the same website.

1. Login to the the website in Google Chrome.

2. Glick on the Tools icon and select New Incognito Window. Alternatively you can press Ctrl + Shift + N to open a new Incognito Window

3. Navigate to the same website and you should be able to login with another user ID.

What other methods do you use to login with different accounts on the same website simultaneously?
