Google Chrome: Sign In With Your Blue Ridge Account
Signing in to Google Chrome with your Blue Ridge account allows Chrome to use your College Google account and provides access to available Chrome features associated with your account.
If you have been using Chrome without signing in, consider exporting your bookmarks before creating or changing profiles.
Before You Begin
If you have bookmarks stored in your current Chrome profile that you do not want to lose, export them before making changes.
See the Google Chrome: Export Your Bookmarks article for instructions.
Sign In to Chrome
- Open Google Chrome.
- Select the profile icon in the upper-right corner.
- Select Add Chrome profile or Add.
- Select Sign in.
- Enter your Blue Ridge email address.
- Follow the prompts to sign in with your Blue Ridge account.
- If Chrome asks you to create a separate profile for your Blue Ridge account, follow the prompts to create the profile.
Your Blue Ridge account will now have its own Chrome profile.
If Chrome Asks You to Create a New Profile
Because your Blue Ridge account is managed by the College, Chrome may ask you to create a separate profile for your Blue Ridge account.
This is normal. Follow the prompts to create the new profile.
If Chrome gives you an option to import existing bookmarks, history, or other browsing information into the new profile, review the options and select the information you want to keep.
If your bookmarks do not transfer, you can import the bookmark file you exported before creating the new profile.
Switch Between Chrome Profiles
If you have more than one Chrome profile:
- Select the profile icon in the upper-right corner of Chrome.
- Select the profile you want to use.
Keeping your Blue Ridge and personal Google accounts in separate Chrome profiles can help prevent account and sign-in confusion.
