Multi Login for Google Voice, replied by Jarett

I'll see about getting it working with Google Voice; that should be easy enough.

No Blackberry app, though.

Can this work with Google Voice, If I want to transfer from account to account to make calls from the appropriate number... And can you turn that google voice multi login feature into a Blackberry App so that you could scroll through your various GV numbers on your blackberry

Now that would be insane...

I've always used it with email addresses, and it's working fine for me.

Installed greasemonkey + updatechecker + multi login script on my system #3: an asus laptop and it worked flawlessly right away! But only on #3.
Now I'm coming somewhere!!! Next days I'm going to compare my 3 systems: #1=desktop-xp-pro-sp3, #2=laptop-vista-home-sp2, #3=laptop-xp-home-sp3.
This will take some time, please hang-on.
Have a nice weekend, Rudolf.

update nov 07.
1st check is not hopefull. Making #1 equal to #3 within FF 3.5.5), i.e. adding & removing FF add-ons, leads to no result. So I'm 'on halt' now with #1. The only PC on which Jarett's script works is system #3. My objective was to get #1 and #3 equal (both have winXP) and working, but I failed up to now.
summary: #3 works,
#1 no multi-login menu pops up,
#2 multi-login menu pops up, but no user switching

Battle goes on! Please join!

Go to "My Account" (in Google) and find out what gmail address is associated with the account. Use the part before the @ as your log in name.

I've never needed to log the current user out before logging the new one in; the new login always just replaces the old one. It's always worked like that. If it wasn't working for more people, there would be a lot more complaining, so it has to be something that's unique to your browser setup that's preventing it from working. Have you tried installing it on a different computer?

Also, the ES version is just a Spanish translation.

Have you seen "Google Account Multi-Login (ES)". I speak NO spanish, so what this ES script brings and if this one works for me, I don't know. Or is it only an adaptation for a spanish pulldownmenu?

GeminiAlpha — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:45:43 +0000

Wether Dutch or English(us) set in Gmail, script still does not work. Little pulldownmenu is shown, logout works, but user change doesn't work; it keeps coming back with the 1st login credentials in form. Jarett, is it possible that you forgot first to logoff the present user before logging in at another account? Just a thought...
It's beginning to look like the end of you multi login script; that makes me very sad because I loved the idea. (I never saw it work.)
I'm more than curious if the script is working for other people. In this thread I only read msg's about Not working scripts.

Well, sorry to say this, but I have no idea why it's not working for you guys. I can't reproduce the issue, so I can't figure out what's causing it.

Thanks for following up on this. I am using Gmail in English, on the google.com domain. In fact, here is the URL - https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox

Thanks for understanding. Feel free to make your own edited version and put it up; I don't mind as long as you link back to the original script.

Hi Jared, once again thanks for your efforts! I use Google in English, not in basic html. You see from my post to GeminiAlpha that I uninstalled all my add-ons in Firefox except for Greasemonkey, and all other scripts and I still got the previous login name. I live in Spain though, so perhaps that's something to consider.

Jaem — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 16:45:25 +0000

GeminiAlpha, thank you Rudolf. Yes I disabled the extensions via the add-on buttons. In fact I uninstalled every add-on except for greasemonkey, then disabled all the greasemonkey scripts except for google multi login, and I still got the screen with my previous user name with prompt for the password. Maybe it's because we're not in the US? I'm in Spain. It did work without problems from the time I installed it until other people started having the same problem, then it worked again for a few days . . . so it seems that it's something to do with google since I haven't installed any add-ons or greasemonkey scripts in this time that the script has stopped working.

Fair enough Jarett, no worries.

Jarett — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:30:51 +0000

Erik, you do bring up a fairly valid point. However, I'm not going to bother changing it for two reasons:

1) You can choose to not have it store passwords.
2) This script is officially no longer supported, save for bug fixes and updates as Gmail changes the login form. I really just don't have the time to work on it.

JShope: Do you use Gmail in English or in some other language? Also, do you use a domain for Google/Gmail for another country, like google.co.uk?

Choosing to store passwords via my script is no less secure that having Firefox remember the site password without a master Firefox password.

Exactly, the master password makes user passwords secure.

Also, I would appreciate it if you didn't title the post "Security Issue"; I really don't want an angry mob of thousands of panicky users banging down my door.

I doubt you will get mobs, if anyone (like it matters) and people should know the risk.

I have the newest script, and it still is having issues. When it passes the URL - https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginAuth - it logs out of the account, but it does not open the Username field. From this page, I would have to click "Sign in as a different user".

If I click "Sign Out", passing the URL - https://mail.google.com/mail/?logout - then it opens both of the Username and Password fields for text entry. I have tried adjusting settings in Google, but have not found one that causes this. It appears the script would be more fool proof if it could do a "Sign Out" and then sign in.

GeminiAlpha: Could you try setting Gmail to English and see if it worked alright? At least then we'll have narrowed the cause of the problem down a little more.

You can leave the password blank if you want; it will prompt you for it when you switch accounts. Choosing to store passwords via my script is no less secure that having Firefox remember the site password without a master Firefox password.

@Jarett
I do NOT use "Basic HTML" view and Yes, I use Gmail in Dutch (my native language).
Wish you lots of success in getting it to work for me and Jaem.

Hey,

Nice script Jarett!

I am concerned with having my passwords available in about:config in clear text however, and I don't think it is necessary.

I wrote a similar userscript for Twitter at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/59103 which you can review for my implementation without storing passwords.

To briefly explain my userscript:
I save a list of usernames only, then when a user wants to switch accounts they are sent to the login page with an extra url parameter with a value equal to the desired account. Then on the login page I search for this url param, and if it is defined then the username is automatically filled into the username form field, then I focus on the password form field, which gets Firefox to auto insert a password saved in Firefox (which is safe when using a master password for Firefox). If the password field was auto populated then I automatically submit the login form.

Do you think that you could do something similar for this script?

@Jaem
Did you disable all extensions via add-ons button? Not greasemonkey I assume? In my situation sometimes the Jarett-box does not appear, and IF it's appearing Change to another account is impossible and I return to my 1st login credentials, sometimes even to the Google Accounts page. It's very inconsistent what's shown. It's driving me crazy.
I use FF3.5.3 and these add-ons: ad-blocker, ad-block plus, betterprivacy, download statusbar, downthemall, fast video download, favicon picker, get favicon, greasemonkey, perspectives, plainoldfavorites, print/print preview, sqlite manager, sync places, tab mix plus, tv fox, dutch dictionary.
Just to let you and jarett know. Only info to share.
Rudolf.

Jared, I disabled everything, restarted, still the same problem, then ininstalled and reinstalled the multi logon but still the same problem. Any help would be much appreciated! Jáem
