Tech Tuesday - How to create and manage profiles in Google Chrome...

in technology •  7 years ago 

Here's a big tip for those of you with multiple accounts. Sure, you could log out and log in to each account separately. You could use chrome's password saving features to make it fairly easy.

You could even use chrome, firefox, IE, Opera and many more different browsers and be logged in to different accounts with each but then you've got multiple browsers to manage and they all work differently with different addons, extensions, plugins etc.

What if you could be logged into all your accounts, at the same time, all in chrome? That's what profiles are for... well actually it's not but it works! Profiles are meant so different people can have different bookmarks, login details stored, etc and to add parental controls... but lets not let "intended purpose" stand in the way of progress!

So how do you do it? See those 3 dots in the top right corner of chrome? Below the X to close the program... no don't close the... load chrome back up and look at those 3 dots. Click them.

Now hit "Settings" and you should see "People" as the first header. Click "Manage other people" then "Add person". Pick a name and a pretty little profile picture and you're away.

At this point I'd also advise ticking "Create a desktop shortcut for this profile" so you can open Chrome directly in this profile.

Now you have a totally separate browser environment but it's the same program! Log into you second pornhu... I mean steemit account and you're away!

You can also do this in Firefox and I'll cover that in a future post.

Happy Steeming!

This would also be a great way to confuse Google.

Set up multiple profiles on multiple continents, oh that might not be such a good idea after all.
