To sign up with a different google account, you can use this: https://bard.google.com/u/1/ (increment number until you get the account you want)

Alternatively, use the account picker:

  https://accounts.google.com/SignOutOptions?continue=https://bard.google.com

Add:

   https://accounts.google.com/SignOutOptions?continue=

to any Google service to bring up this account picker.

good ol' google ghetto multi account system. so much time wasted wrangling this stuff for docs permissions

Hasn't this been a problem for years? How have they not fixed this?

I don't think it's a problem, it's just how it intentionally works. The problem is they don't render the account switcher when you arrive to a new product that your current account hasn't signed up to.

but basing accounts on urls not cookies is really dumb, especially when people send mydocs.google.com/u/1 which refers to my team but i'm logged in to that team on mydocs.google.com/u/2 or the 0 based one which doesnt even get a namespace

Yeah, I can't argue with that.

To find the number in O(1) time: log into gmail, log into the actual account you want, and then pull the number from the URL.

Just use https://bard.google.com/?authuser=whatever@gmail.com and skip the number lookup entirely.

this is why I love HN
