How Do I Add Another Google Account?

Published in Google Account Management 2 mins read

Adding another Google account to your computer is easy! Simply follow these steps:

Adding a Second Google Account on Your Computer

  1. Sign in to Google: First, make sure you're signed into your Google account on your computer. You'll see your profile picture or initial in the top right corner.

  2. Access the Account Menu: Click on your profile image or initial in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. A menu will appear.

  3. Select "Add account": From the dropdown menu, choose the option that says "Add account".

  4. Sign in to the new account: You'll be prompted to sign in to the Google account you want to add. Enter your email address and password for that account, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Once you've completed these steps, you'll be able to switch between your Google accounts easily. You might see both accounts listed in the top right corner, allowing for quick switching.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Forgotten Password?: If you forget your password, click the "Forgot password?" link during the sign-in process. Google will guide you through password recovery.
  • Multiple Browsers?: Note that adding an account is browser-specific. If you use multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc.), you'll need to add the account to each browser individually.
