Simple clear advice in plain English

Sign in to multiple accounts

Use private tabs in Opera to use two different accounts on the same website at the same time

Sign in to different accounts in Opera
Use two usernames and passwords simultaneously in Opera

One of the useful side effects of the private tabs in Opera is that they can be used to sign in to the same site with different accounts from the same browser. This can be useful if you need to work with two Gmail accounts at the same time. Open one in a normal tab and the other in a private tab.

To open a Private tab, right-click on the plus symbol to the right of the open tabs and click on New Private tab.

Opera will not offer to remember any usernames and passwords for websites, or links for autocomplete, so it is a good idea to log in to the different sites in a normal tab first so the settings can be remembered.

Sadly this won’t work with Firefox because the private mode restarts the browser rather than working with individual tabs.
