My point was, why remove that in the first place? You seem to be totally ignoring the 'Add account' option. There is no reason why one would need to remove other accounts to sign into another Gmail account. I would be annoyed if you did that because I have several Google accounts that I am signed into, so if you came along and unnecessarily signed me out of each one then I would have to go and add them all again.

There is no need to sign out and/or remove any Google account in order to sign into another one. I will remind you also about the OP. Paul was talking about signing into his Gmail on his partner's (better half's) computer. I would consider this a trusted computer, and see no reason to sign out of that person's Google account. The 'Add account' button will do, and his username will be remembered for the next time. Of course, if one is paranoid about the caching and cookies then yes, use an incognito window. Just remember to close it otherwise the session will persist. -- Marko -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
