Easier said than done, in my experience. Years ago I had to log into my Company's Play account on my computer for some specific reason, one time, and more than a year after that, my daughter purchased a game on my android phone and the CEO sent me a message saying "FYI, we just paid $3 for a princess coloring book app, please enjoy it with our compliments but please delete the Play Store login info from your devices." I still have zero idea how that could possibly have happened. That company will be shutting down and now I'm worried that my google account is somehow "linked" to it.
- 3np 5y agoGuess: Logged in using Chrome? IIRC Chrome has specific functionality regarding retaining and linking Google account information. This is how you get the account-selector. As mentioned in a sibling comment: Utilize browser profiles (Chromium-based/Firefox) or Multi-Account Containers (Firefox).
- heleninboodler 5y agoThis may very well be the case, but it was years ago so I don't really know. This type of linking is something that always gives me the willies when it happens without warning and makes me think I should stay away from using components that are too "smart." I got really freaked out once when I was using a portable wireless access point owned by my employer (for on-call duties) in a starbucks and it told me a second device had attached to it. Turns out I had just bought a new iphone and Apple had stashed away the wifi password and automatically given it to the new phone, rather than the explanation being some hacker sitting near me in starbucks. I completely understand why they did this, but it really would have been nice to be asked if I mind if they store a copy of my password in the cloud.
