Sometimes it is expected to have multiple accounts logged in simultaneously in the same web browser. The browsers are not allowed to login with multiple accounts for the same website such as Gmail, Facebook and many others. In this article, learn how to solve this problem and allow multiple login sessions in a web browser.
Allow multiple login sessions in web browser:
Platform: Windows
The browsers typically share the same session cookies across all the tabs, which is the default behavior. However, you have to close the current session to log in with different user credentials.
There is an option in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browser to allow multiple login sessions. Let’s see how you can make this possible with beautiful extensions and built-in command options.
1
Internet Explorer:
In Internet Explorer Properties window, navigate to Shortcut tab. The Shortcut tab has the field called Target and there you will see the full execution path for iexplore.exe. To allow multiple login sessions, iexplore.exe has to be executed with the command option –nomerge. So, you would need to modify the target execution path by appending the command option –nomerge at the end of the string.

Google Chrome
In Google Chrome, there is no direct command option like in Internet Explorer. Here you need to install a special extension called MultiLogin which is free.
After installation, you can see the MultiLogin icon appeared at the top right corner of the Chrome browser window.
You need to click on the MultiLogin icon to start new session and the new Chrome tab will be opened with identical session number. For each click, identical session get created and a new tab will be loaded.

Mozilla Firefox
Just like Google Chrome, in Firefox also you need to install a special extension called Multifox which is free
After installation, you can see the Multifox icon appeared at the top right corner of the Firefox browser window.
When you click on Multifox icon, the drop-down menu will be populated. Further you need to select menu item New to start the new session. Once the menu item New is clicked, then the associated session menu gets created and appended at the bottom of the menu. Like this, you can create multiple sessions. The use session menu is to identify a particular session and switch to the session when needed. You can delete the particular session selectively once you are done.

I did already do that using private window and normal window, and two different browsers (Brave and Edge, not in your list) but I’ll try your way. Do the extensions work for Brave and the command for Edge ?
I will update the blog for Brave and Edge browsers.
Hello, I think your site might be having browser compatibility
issues. When I look at your website in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer,
it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, excellent blog!
thanks for sharing the issue. I will look forward on the compatibility issues and I will try to fix it.
