How to Change the Default Google Account With Multiple Accounts
So, the solution to set a default account:
- Go to any Google site sign-in page in a non-incognito window.
- Log out of all your Google accounts. Select your profile picture on the top-right and then click Sign out from the menu.
- Go to gmail.com and sign in with the account you want to set as the default account. Remember, the first account you log in to becomes the default always. Test this by signing into any other Google service (like Google Drive) and see for yourself.
- After you have signed in to your default account, you can sign in to any other Google account and switch between them.
- Again, select your profile image from the top-right. On the menu, choose Add account. Use your credentials to sign in to the account you want to use.
This isn't a bother for someone who uses a single Google account. But it can be important for those of us who have multiple Gmail accounts separated as work and personal. Remembering the right account can save you time and energy.
Here are a few common scenarios:
- One of your accounts might have a different language setting than the others.
- You might be using Google Apps on a work account and regular Gmail for personal stuff.
- Some of your accounts may have two-factor authentication set up.
- You might have different privacy rules for each account.
