您可以在网络浏览器中方便地登录并在多个Google帐户之间切换。这使得通过任何帐户(无论是个人帐户还是与工作相关的帐户)都可以 轻松使用Google 的网络应用程序和服务套件。(Google’s suite of web apps and services)
但是,您的浏览器会自动恢复到它识别为默认的某个Google帐户。仅当您最常使用该帐户时,这才是理想的。如果不是,您需要更改默认的Google帐户。
但这就是问题所在;谷歌(Google)没有提供这样做的选项或设置。因此,您很可能会被一个几乎从不使用的默认帐户所困,不断提醒自己始终切换帐户。烦人(Annoying),对吧?
值得庆幸的是,您可以使用几种方法来更改网络浏览器中的默认Google帐户。让我们来看看它们。
首先使用默认的 Google 帐户登录(Sign in With the Default Google Account First)
您的浏览器不会随机选择Google帐户作为默认帐户。相反,它会自动将该插槽分配给您登录的第一个帐户。这意味着您可以使用任何Google帐户作为默认帐户,只要您先使用它登录即可。
如果您已经登录了所有帐户,则必须退出每个帐户并重新开始。看起来确实需要做很多工作,但正如您所见,更改默认Google帐户的整个过程比您想象的要容易。
1.在新的浏览器标签中加载Google 搜索。(Google Search)
2.从屏幕右上角打开Google 帐户菜单。(Google account menu)然后,选择退出所有帐户(Sign out of all accounts)选项。浏览器会立即让您退出所有Google帐户。
3. 选择屏幕右上角的登录按钮。(Sign in)如果您使用Chrome,请先选择继续(Continue),然后选择登录(Sign in)。完成此操作后,您将看到您之前登录过的所有Google帐户的列表。(Google)
4. 选择您要设置为默认的Google帐户。(Google)如果您之前没有使用该帐户登录,请选择使用其他帐户(Use another account)选项。
5. 插入Google帐户的凭据并登录。这应该使它成为您网络浏览器中的默认Google帐户。
6. 打开Google 帐户菜单(Google account menu)(应该再次可见)以登录您的其他Google帐户。
如果您想验证您登录的第一个Google帐户确实是默认帐户,只需切换到另一个帐户,然后重新打开Google 帐户菜单(Google account menu)即可。您会在默认Google Account旁边看到Default标签。
上述步骤适用于所有主要网络浏览器,例如Chrome、Firefox、Edge和Safari。如果您使用Chrome,那么您应该记住以下几点:
- 退出所有Google帐户将阻止Chrome同步您的浏览数据(syncing your browsing data)。只有在您重新登录为同步目的而在浏览器级别设置的Google帐户后,它才会恢复。
- 更改默认Google帐户不会更改您在浏览器级别登录的帐户。如果您也想更改它,您必须关闭Chrome 同步(Chrome Sync)并通过Chrome 设置(Chrome Settings)使用另一个帐户登录。
将 Google 帐户添加到新个人资料(Add Google Account to a New Profile)
如果您打算经常更改默认Google帐户,则必须始终退出并重新登录可能会很麻烦。使用单独的浏览器配置文件会有所帮助。
由于浏览器配置文件(browser profiles run independently)彼此独立运行,使用Google帐户登录新配置文件将自动将其设为默认值。您还可以获得与帐户一起使用的一组单独的设置、扩展程序和浏览数据。
在所有浏览器中,Chrome使创建和切换配置文件变得最容易。将Google帐户添加到新的Chrome配置文件还意味着您可以将浏览数据与同一帐户同步。
1. 选择Chrome(Chrome)窗口右上角的配置文件图标。然后,选择添加(Add)。
2. 输入个人资料的名称并选择个人资料图片。如果您在Windows上使用 Chrome,您可以通过选中(Windows)为该用户创建桌面快捷方式(Create a desktop shortcut for this user)旁边的框来选择为配置文件添加桌面快捷方式。完成后,选择添加(Add)按钮以创建配置文件。
3. 选择已经是 Chrome 用户?(Already a Chrome user? Sign in)欢迎(Welcome)使用Chrome初始屏幕上的登录选项。如果您没有看到,请选择Chrome(Chrome)窗口右上角的配置文件图标,然后选择打开同步(Turn on Sync)。
4:输入您的Google帐户凭据并登录新的Chrome配置文件。
5.当提示打开Chrome 同步时,选择(Chrome Sync)是,我在(Yes, I’m in)。如果要指定要同步的各种形式的浏览数据(密码、扩展程序等),请选择设置。(Settings)您也可以稍后通过Chrome 设置(Chrome Settings)来执行此操作。
Google帐户现在应该是Chrome配置文件的默认帐户。即使您决定添加其他Google帐户,它也会保持不变。如果您想更改默认Google帐户,请按照上一个方法中的步骤操作。
要在Chrome(Chrome)个人资料之间切换,请点击屏幕右上角的个人资料图标,然后从其他人(Other people)下方选择个人资料。如果您想创建另一个Chrome配置文件,请选择添加(Add)。
您还可以在 Firefox(create new profiles in Firefox)和其他基于 Chromium 的 Web 浏览器(例如Microsoft Edge )中创建新配置文件。虽然他们确实缺乏浏览器级别的Google帐户集成,但您应该能够在单独的配置文件中设置默认Google帐户而不会出现问题。(Google)
新的默认值(The New Default)
在Google实施直接指定默认Google帐户的方法之前,上述两种方法都应该有所帮助。回顾一下,如果您不打算定期更改默认帐户,则退出并重新登录是可行的。否则,使用单独的浏览器配置文件是可行的方法。
How to Change the Default Google Account
You can conveniеntly sign in and switch between multiple Google accountѕ in your web browser. That makes it easy to use Google’s suite of web apps and services with any account, be it personal or work-related.
However, your browser will automatically revert to a certain Google account that it identifies as the default. This is only ideal if you use that account the most. If it’s not, you’ll need to change the default Google account.
But here’s the problem; Google offers no option or setting to do that. So, you could very well be stuck with a default account that you hardly ever use, constantly having to remind yourself to switch accounts all the time. Annoying, right?
Thankfully, there are a couple of methods that you can use to change the default Google account in your web browser. Let’s go through both of them.
Sign in With the Default Google Account First
Your browser doesn’t pick a random Google account as the default. Rather, it automatically assigns that slot to the first account that you sign in with. This means that you can have any Google account as the default as long as you log in with it first.
If you’ve already signed into all of your accounts, you must sign out of each one and start all over again. It does seem like a lot of work, but as you’ll see, the entire process to change your default Google account is easier than you think.
1. Load Google Search in a new browser tab.
2. Open the Google account menu from the top right of the screen. Then, select the Sign out of all accounts option. The browser will sign you out of all Google accounts immediately.
3. Select the Sign in button on the top right of the screen. If you use Chrome, select Continue first, and then select Sign in. Once you do that, you will see a list of all Google accounts that you’ve previously signed in with.
4. Select the Google account that you want to set up as the default. If you haven’t signed in with the account before, select the Use another account option.
5. Insert the Google account’s credentials and sign into it. That should make it the default Google account in your web browser.
6. Open the Google account menu (which should be visible again) to sign into the rest of your Google accounts.
If you want to verify that the first Google account you signed in with is indeed the default account, simply switch to another account, and then re-open the Google account menu. You’ll see the Default tag next to the default Google Account.
The steps above apply to all major web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. If you use Chrome, then there are a couple of things that you should keep in mind:
- Signing out of all Google accounts will stop Chrome from syncing your browsing data. It will only resume once you sign back into the Google account that you’ve set up at the browser level for syncing purposes.
- Changing the default Google account will not change the account that you’ve signed into at the browser level. If you want to change that as well, you must turn off Chrome Sync and sign in with another account via Chrome Settings.
Add Google Account to a New Profile
If you plan on changing default Google accounts frequently, having to sign out and back in all the time can be a hassle. Using separate browser profiles instead can help.
Since browser profiles run independently of each other, signing into a new profile with a Google account will automatically make it the default. You get the benefit of having a separate set of settings, extensions, and browsing data to go with the account as well.
Out of all browsers, Chrome makes it the easiest to create and switch between profiles. Adding a Google account to a new Chrome profile also means that you get to sync your browsing data with the same account.
1. Select the profile icon at the top right of the Chrome window. Then, select Add.
2. Enter a name for the profile and select a profile picture. If you use Chrome on Windows, you can choose to add a desktop shortcut for the profile by checking the box next to Create a desktop shortcut for this user. Once you’re done, select the Add button to create the profile.
3. Select the Already a Chrome user? Sign in option on the Welcome to Chrome splash screen. If you don’t see that, select the profile icon to the top right of the Chrome window and select Turn on Sync.
4: Enter your Google account credentials and sign into the new Chrome profile.
5. Select Yes, I’m in when prompted to turn on Chrome Sync. Select Settings instead if you want to specify the various forms of browsing data (passwords, extensions, etc.) that you want to sync. You can also do that later via Chrome Settings.
The Google account should now be the default for the Chrome profile. It will remain the same even if you decide to add other Google accounts. In case you want to change the default Google account, follow the steps in the previous method.
To switch between Chrome profiles, click the profile icon to the top right of the screen and pick the profile from underneath Other people. Select Add if you want to create another Chrome profile.
You can also create new profiles in Firefox and other Chromium-based web browsers such as Microsoft Edge. While they do lack Google account integration at the browser level, you should be able to set up default Google accounts in separate profiles without issues.
The New Default
Until Google implements the means to specify the default Google account directly, both of the methods above should help. To recap, signing out and logging back in works if you have no intention of changing default accounts regularly. Otherwise, using separate browser profiles is the way to go.
