+ | ====== Google GMail Bookmark that Logs In ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note: This no longer works for me, but google has updated their page so it's no longer necessary. Check out my quick article on [[Google Gmail Multiple Account Logins]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can create a bookmark that automatically logs you into your Google Email (GMail) account. This gives you a quick link to your email and also gives you an easy way to login to multiple accounts easily. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note: Both of these methods give anyone with access to your computer access to your email AND your Google password. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Basic Login Bookmark ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Simply create a new bookmark (or favorite) containing the following URL: | ||
+ | |||
+ | https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginAuth?continue=http://mail.google.com/gmail&service=mail&Email=USER&Passwd=PASS&null=Sign+in | ||
+ | |||
+ | Replace //USER// with your Google username and //PASS// with the associated password. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Advanced Logout and Login Bookmark ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you use multiple GMail accounts, you'll need to log out of one and into the other, which takes an extra layer of foo. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Create a new bookmark (or favorite) containing the following URL: | ||
+ | |||
+ | https://www.google.com/accounts/Logout?continue=https%3a%2f%2fwww.google.com%2faccounts%2fServiceLoginAuth%3fcontinue%3dhttp%3a%2f%2fmail.google.com%2fgmail%26service%3dmail%26Email%3dUSER%26Passwd%3dPASS%26null%3dSign%2bin | ||
+ | |||
+ | Replace //USER// with your Google username and //PASS// with the associated password. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== References ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I gathered the basic URL information from an [[http://www.marcofolio.net/tips/automatic_sign_into_gmail_using_a_bookmark.html|Article]] by Marco Kuiper. I expanded on that by using a few bits from the Jaret's source code for the [[http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/16341|Google Account Multi-Login plugin]]. Thanks guys! | ||
