I have two Google accounts: [email protected] and [email protected]. I am happily registered on SE with [email protected] - somehow IE has remembered all this and so I am asking this question via that login. BUT - I rarely use IE and on Firefox, when I attempt to log in to SE via a Google account I am always prompted to create a new account with the x@gmail account! I don't want to create a new account via x@ and simply want to select the y@ account and log in - as is now automated in IE.

Why can't I do this in FF and how do I stop FF (or SE) forever prompting via only the x@ account?

All Stack Exchange does is ask Google to authenticate you, and it is Google that tells Stack Exchange you are using [email protected].

You need to go and log out of [email protected] over on Google, and log in as [email protected] instead.

  • Thank you - I had not realised that I was logged in and/or that being so would have this effect. Yet another reason to dislike the stay-logged-in pressure from Google.
