Same here, and the account switcher doesn't work.
- jmkni 4y agoI had to go back to Google's homepage and switch accounts there Agree, very frustrating.
- lxgr 4y agoReminds me of when the Google Voice iOS account switcher would "trap" you in an account of an unsupported country, with the only recourse being re-installing the app and taking care to never accidentally switch to that account again (which can easily happen with the "swipe to fast switch" gesture on the account icons).
- AnnikaL 4y agoYou can add /u/1 or /u/2 to the end of the URL to use another Google Account.
- amluto 4y agoWorks great for bookmarks. </sarcasm>
- jvolkman 4y agoFor bookmarks use https://bard.google.com/?authuser=whatever@gmail.com https://bard.google.com/?authuser=whatever@gmail.com
- boneitis 4y agowhile we're here showing people the account-hopping techniques for Google's painful world of auth'ing: the `?authuser=` trick can also be used with numbers from 0-9, to authenticate (by zero-index) your web browser's 10 slots for logged-in accounts (e.g., `?authuser=2` to authenticate your third account slot).

- Wowfunhappy 4y agoThank you! This allowed me to use Bard without going into Incognito mode!
- amluto 4y agoAt least Google has an account switcher. I’m looking at you, AWS. (I’m currently launching a project on Google Cloud, and I’m picking it over AWS primarily because the AWS console’s account management is so terrible [0]. There are only so many hours in the day, and the whole point of paying a 4-40x markup for the cloud is to reduce workload.) Not that Google’s account switcher has ever been particularly good. [0] Not just the console. AWS organizations are sort of okay, but you still need to give every account an email address. Seriously, Amazon? I bet you could invent a new subtype of account called, say, “project”, where a project has a name, does not have an email address, does not have a root non-IAM user, and is only accessed via IAM roles. And I bet you could, with more effort, teach the console to accept a URL prefix that encodes the name of an account and a role and gives a console view with that role assumed without globally assuming that role. And then I could administer a VPC according to current best practices, from the console, without cursing at multi-account containers and needing to correctly type the account and role every time I want to do anything.
- jvolkman 4y agoFor organization accounts, we just use `aws+account-name@company.com` which routes all emails for all accounts to one alias. Also, yeah, AWS' account situation is bonkers. Even with organizations, if you have an account open in one tab and open another account in another, you get logged out of the first. Bonkers.
- amluto 4y agoThis naming scheme works, but it still seems suboptimal. I should never, under any circumstance, receive email intended for the root user of an account that is subordinate to an organization. If someone manages to create a password associated with that user or otherwise authenticate as that user, that is a security failure. Conversely, I should be able to assume the “role” of that account’s root user from the organization’s management account regardless of IAM policy inside that account. And the scare quotes are intentional: no role should need to exist inside the sub-account for this to work — it should not be possible to lock myself out of a sub-account by any manipulation of that sub-account’s IAM configuration.
- SMAAART 4y agoYou need to open an incognito tab, and log on to the gmail account there, and re-do the process.
