Manage your accounts with Two Browsers or Two Browser Profiles
Web browsers remember when you are signed into a Google account and keep you signed in. But many people want to use two Google accounts that are both signed in.
You can use Google's Switch Accounts options (see below), or you can manually keep your accounts separate by using different browsers or browser profiles.
Use Two Browsers
Example:
- Use Internet Explorer while being signed in to your personal gmail account.
- Use Google Chrome while being signed in to your @reliant.org Google account.
Each browser will remain signed in the one account you signed in. When you want to use a link from Reliant, you use it in the browser that is already signed in.
Use Two User Profiles: Chrome User Profiles
Use Chrome but switch the browser between your accounts.

Help: Use Chrome with Multiple User Profiles
Best Solution: Sign in to Multiple Accounts Using Google
For most services like Gmail, Google Drive and others, Google allows users to sign-in to multiple accounts and switch between them as needed.
...
Once you are signed into up both accounts, you can switch at will.
