How to Log into Two Accounts at Once with Chrome’s Incognito Mode

How to Log into Two Accounts at Once with Chromes Incognito Mode

You’d already know Google Chrome’s incognito  mode is quite cool and less sophisticated than IE8’s InPrivate browsing and will be more then useful if you have multiple gmail or other accounts.

When you open a window in incognito mode (Ctrl+Shift+N), Chrome doesn’t saves your cookies like a standard session would, so you can easily log in to another Google account.

Chrome’s help center has more details about this feature. “Webpages that you open and files downloaded while you are incognito won’t be logged in your browsing and download histories; all new cookies are deleted after you close the incognito window. You can browse normally and in incognito mode at the same time by using separate windows.” Michael Jeffrey explains that “incognito mode is a window-level mode - all pages viewed within this window are not persisted to the user’s history, and incognito pages use a temporary cookie store that is blank at the start of the incognito session”.

When you close the incognito window, all the cookies will get deleted so you need to log in again the next time you browse in incognito mode. But hey you can only login twice at a time one in the standard window and other in the incognito mode.
