How to login to sites as multiple users with private browsing

WEBBY STUFF Add comments

Have you ever needed to login to webmail, a support ticket system, online gaming or in fact any site where you have multiple logins or simply need to login as someone else to check something. This is usually a pain in the backside, as you have to logout as your current user, then login as someone else, then remember to logout and login as yourself again.

 

Thankfully with the current browsers there is now a simple solution to this called “Private browsing”, which allows you to open a new (private) browser window which is isolated from your normal browsing  and does not record any data such as history, cookies etc. As well as being useful for hiding your browsing activities from your spouse or when using a public computer in an Internet cafe, it is also great for the aforementioned purpose as well.
many of you may have noticed this option in your browser but never been sure what it does or even tried it out.


In Firefox 3.5+:
Start private browsing from tools menu or press CTRL+SHIFT+P

In Google Chrome:
Open  Incognito Window from tools (wench)  menu or press Ctrl+Shift+N

In Internet Explorer 8+ :
Start In Private browsing from Safety menu, or press CTRL+SHIFT+P

In this new private window you will now be able to login to any site as a different user and also remain logged in as yourself in your normal browser window. Remember though that cookies are not saved, so once you close the window you will no longer be logged, regardless of whether you clicked any “keep me logged in” box.
