Managing Multiple Accounts

 

This guide is intended for those with multiple Google Accounts including at least one PSD Google Account. Examples could be two Teachers in the same household using the same device, or a Teacher with children in the District who use the same device.  

Get ready! There will be two things to log into during these steps:

  • Chrome: which is the Internet Browser itself.
  • www.google.com: a website you will navigate to using the address bar.  

 

1.  Make sure you are already logged into Chrome with the Primary account you wish to use.
