A few weeks ago we told you about Google testing out multiple-account sign-ins with some users. Today, it goes live for the rest of us.
Multiple account sign-in will allow you to more easily handle multiple Google accounts via a single browser. Previously, the easiest manner to sign into different accounts was to use a different browser for each, so that you could be signed on concurrently.
According to some information on Google Operating System, multiple sign-in should now appear in your Google Accounts page. I’ve just checked my own, and don’t have the options yet, but if you do it will look like this:
- App Engine
- Code
- Calendar
- Gmail
- Reader
- Sites
- Voice
So how does it work? Apparently, once you’ve signed up, you’ll start seeing a dropdown menu that will allow you to choose a different account, without signing out of the first. Google OS notes that each account, also, is given its own identifying number in the URL.
