Chrome Tip: Using Profiles to Access Multiple Google Accounts

Have you tried to use more than one Google account (e.g., work and personal) in Chrome and had strange things happen?  Maybe your bookmark bar does not show the web pages you have saved or you have to login repeatedly?

There is a solution to this problem and it is called Google Chrome Profiles.  I have been profiles for the past year, and have found them to be a must-have on every computer I use.   It allows me to keep my work and home account separate.  

Setting up Profiles in Chrome

1. When logged into Chrome, you will see your username or email address in the top right of your chrome screen.  If no name is listed, click on the three line icon (in the image below it is above the word 'bookmarks') and
   select Settings > People > Add Person

2. A Google Sign-in screen will appear (as below).  Click on Switch person.

3. If you have used Chrome profiles before, your other profiles will appear as below.
    
4. If you have not used Chrome profiles already, click on Add person.

Using your Chrome Profiles
You will need to login to your new profile and you will have two separate Google Chrome sessions in separate windows.  

To change a name or photo on your profile, click on the icon associated with the profile in the sign in screen (see green circle below).
