The Sign-in Screen

The first screen you’ll see after starting up your Chrome device is the main sign-in screen.

All the Google Accounts you add to the device will show up here. That way, everyone using your Chrome device can access their own browser preferences and settings in their account.

Here are the key things you can do on this screen:

    • Sign in
    • Just click the Google Account you want to use and enter your password. You'll see your background wallpaper on the sign-in screen. If there are multiple accounts on your device, you'll see the background wallpaper associated with each account when you click on a user's sign-in box.
    • Add a new account
    • To use a Google Account not listed on the screen, click + Add User in the lower-left corner of the screen. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, so that your account information can be verified.
    • Remove accounts
    • Click the x button in the upper-right corner of the account picture to remove the account from the screen. Don't worry; you won't actually delete the Google Account or the data and settings synced with the account.
    • Shut down

Click the

button in the lower-left corner of the screen or on a Chromebook simply close the lid to shut down.
