A very quick post for those people who are trying to access multiple gmail, or google accounts – at the same time!
It has always annoyed me how often I have to log off, and log on to Google Accounts, especially as in my day job we are handling email, websites, google feedburner, google apps, webmaster tools, analytics, and ‘plus’ a long list.
A quick tot up showed at least 6o google accounts accessed in the recent past to help customers get set up.
My hint and tip
Lastpass
An incredible time saver. This saves and encrypts passwords and then makes them available across several machines, automatically! One password to rule them all.
If you do resort to logging on and off several times and hour, then this will change your life.
And, as a bonus, if you want to share password access with other people, but don’t want to disclose the actual password, this software makes it possible. The main benefit is that you can revoke it of course.
If you want multiple concurrent access
I have Chrome open for my work email, and can use different access details for the customer actions on Firefox.
It turns out that actually, what I really wanted was to not have to log in and out just to see if I had email. Not withstanding whether I should do this for inbox zero purposes or not.
Incognito
If you want multiple windows with multiple google logins, try Chrome incognito. Click the spanner on the right, and ‘open new incognito window’. It won’t work with browser extensions, which it switches off to prevent ‘leakage’ of personal data. No great hardship when accessing email and so forth.
These things have made life much easier for us – to the point where we want to share.
Even my beloved H.I. likes Chrome for email – so it must be good.
