Google Multiple Account Sign-In Goes Live

Aug 3rd, 20101 Comment

GoogleThe much awaited multiple Google accounts sign-in feature has now been enabled for Google accounts users. Now you can sign in to more than one of your Google account all from the same browser window for specific products by enabling the multiple sign-in setting, which is disabled by default.

The feature only allow a user to sign in to a maximum of three accounts at a time. The first account that was signed in to will be the default account. On visiting other Google products that don’t support multiple accounts after you’ve signed in, you will automatically sign in to your default account for that product.

However, if you sign out of any Google product while signed in to any account, you will be signed out of all your Google Accounts at once.

There are a few warning though. Enabling multiple sign-in will disable Offline products like Offline Gmail and Offline Calendar, as well as any browser bookmarks you’ve set to link to your accounts.

Also, if you use Offline Gmail, make sure to sync your offline mail before enabling multiple sign-in so you don’t lose any messages in your outbox. If you would like to continue using Offline Gmail, Offline Calendar, and browser bookmarks linked to your accounts, do not enable the multiple sign-in option.
