Google Docs use multiple accounts without signing out

I have 4 four Google accounts and in two of them I use docs regularly. But I can’t switch accounts in Google Docs (in drive I can):

as you can see all other accounts are disabled. On some pages it tells me I must sign out of other accounts first. Why? Is there a way to avoid that? I can’t use incognito mode since I use two-factor…

Trust a device for more then 30 days in Google Two-Factor Authentication

When I log on to my Google account and have to enter a two-factor code, I get an option to trust this device for 30 days:

Some time ago, this option trusted the device permanently – which is a lot more comfortable, at least for your main device. Is there still a way to permanently trust a device?

Reset or remove Gmail 2FA setting from specific computer

I accidentally checked (or did not uncheck) the “Do not ask for 2FA on this PC again” field when I logged into Gmail on a PC that isn’t mine.

Is there any way to reset this setting? I looked around in settings without finding anything.

Google Keep Does not work after turning on 2-factor Authentication on Google Account

I have been using “Google Keep” extensively to keep notes on my workstation, laptop and my mobile phone.

I turned on two factor authentication recently and Google Keep stopped working on my desktop and in the desktop browser. It does work on my Android phone (of course after updating the Google Account on phone).

How do I untrust a computer with Google two-factor authentication?

I use Google’s two factor authentication to send my phone text messages with a string of 6 numbers every time I log into a computer that isn’t mine. It has worked well so far until today.

Today, I took too long to enter the code, which would be fine normally… except I clicked through faster than I should have and realized shortly…

Erase Google two-factor authentication token

I logged in to GMail with two-factor authentication and mistakenly left the “Remember this computer for 30 days” option checked.

I’d like to erase the authentication token, so on the next log in it’ll still prompt for the temporary code, not just for the password.

Can this be done in other ways than deleting cookies?

How to: Limit Google "trusted computer" auth cookies to 30 days #fix #development #dev

Limit Google "trusted computer" auth cookies to 30 days

It looks like Google’s two-factor authentication has switched to using long-expiration cookies for remembering “trusted” user agents, instead of the 30 day expiration previously used. This seems somewhat less secure because I now have to remember to manually deauthorize computers that I haven’t used in a while.
