Login to multiple accounts on the same site in Chrome
Search phrases like login multiple accounts same site Chrome and two Gmail accounts Chrome same window show up constantly. Chrome can do this with separate profiles, but that splits your whole browser. TabIdent keeps one window and separates identities per tab container.
Basic dual-login flow
- Create two containers (Work / Personal).
- Open the site in a Work tab and sign in.
- Open the same site in a Personal tab and sign in to the other account.
- Refresh both—each should keep its own session on sites that rely on normal cookies or localStorage.
Why this fails without containers
Without isolation, the browser has one cookie jar per profile. The second login overwrites the first. Extensions that only “duplicate tabs” without cookie separation cannot fix that.
Gmail and Google SSO reality check
Google properties share login state across many hosts. Container tools—including Firefox Containers—struggle here. TabIdent:
- Isolates what it can (network cookies + proxied storage).
- Ships in-product honesty when a site is only partially supported.
- Encourages pausing site rules during “Sign in with Google” redirects instead of permanently binding
accounts.google.com.
If a Google flow misbehaves, pause rules, finish login, then resume. Do not expect magic on every Google surface.
Good fits
- Work vs personal mail (non-Google or carefully managed Google).
- SaaS admin vs user roles.
- AWS / cloud consoles with separate roles (when cookie-based).
- Support agents with multiple tenant logins.
Not a substitute for
- Full anti-detect / fingerprint spoofing.
- Per-container network proxies (not in MVP).
- Temporary containers that wipe on close (planned later, not now).
