Cannot log in to gmail - keeps redirecting
 
I tried to find a solution on-line, but couldn't get an answer. When I try to log on to gmail or youtube, when I press the Sign in, it keeps redirecting it to my wife's university login.

I tried clearing the cache, but don't think I cleared the right one (the Explorer download one).

Any suggestions?

Clear cookies, not cache.

And did I read that right, you are using Internet Explorer?

My God man, WHY?????

Install a different browser, Chrome, Firefox, anything.

OK! I'm a creature of habit. Full disclosure - I just got the gmail recently. I've been using Hotmail for the last few decades.

BTW, how do I clear cookies?

The same thing happens when my kids login to their school district Gmail/GDocs/Google drive account on my computer. I have to have one of them log out and in again with their account, then log out...after that it lets me login.

It's doing the same thing on Chrome!

OK! Success! I went to Delete Browsing History and checked the Cookies and website data box.

That allowed me to log into gmail.

Thanks stomachmonkey!!

switching to Chrome now.

Sweet!

With Firefox, it's a History drop down menu. History/Clear Recent History/Everything.

For Chrome, which I don't use anymore, just Google "How to clear browser history in Chrome?" and do that periodically.

If security/privacy is a concern;

For browsers, I'd recommend https://brave.com. Others say https://vivaldi.com is good.

For email, I'd recommend https://protonmail.com.

You shouldn't have to do that anymore.

Used to be a cluster **** with google but they've finally fixed it.

Upper right corner, colored circle with a single letter in it.

Click it, if only one account is in the list add the other/s.

Then in the future when it auto logs into to the one you don't want just use the same dropdown to switch to the one you want.
