Re: Google Accounts and 2-Step Verification

[Steve Pirk <pirkster () gmail com>]

Jeff, give this a try...

1) log into account #1 (the gmail account I usually log into first). The
gmail account uses 2-step auth.

2) in the upper right of the gmail window should be your name and possibly
a profile pic. The will be a down arrow link, and you want to click that.

3) there should be options for account and privacy, a button to view
profile, with "add account" and sign out at the bottom.

4) when you click add account, a new window will open up called "accounts".
It should also list the other users you are signed in as. Log in with you
Apps account and you should land on a new gmail page as the new user.

5) your original session should still be logged in. Checking you account
settings again should now show which users you are logged in as, and let's
you "switch user" to another one.

If this does not help, let me know. I have logged in as three different
users at once. Also, I am pretty sure you cannot be two gmail (consumer
version) users at the same time. I have not tried this recently, YMMV.
