It’s easy to use the web with multiple Google accounts signed in at the same time, but you will always fall back to the “default” account. It’s a little tricky to change this, but it can be done.

The default Google account is determined by whichever you first used to sign in. This same rule applies to Android devices and many Google apps. Unfortunately, changing which account is the “default” is a bit cumbersome.

You can quickly see which of your accounts is the default by visiting Google’s website and clicking the profile icon in the top-right corner. You’ll see a list of all the Google accounts you’ve used. If one of the accounts doesn’t say “Default” next to it, then you’re already using the default account.

As previously mentioned, the first account you signed in to was made the default account, so undoing that means signing out of all accounts. After that, you can sign in first with the new default account.

First, head to google.com in a web browser and click the profile icon in the top-right corner.

Next, select “Sign Out of All Accounts” from the pop-up menu.
