How to Stop Auto-Login with Old School Account and Switch to a New One?

Asked by QuantumPineapple79
I recently graduated with my PhD and I'm starting a new research position in the fall. My computer automatically logs me into sites like Google Scholar using my old school account, but now that I've graduated, those login credentials no longer work. How do I stop getting rerouted to a login page where I can't access my account? Also, I want to set it up to automatically log in with my new institutional credentials once I get them in a few months. Any tips on how to manage this?

Check if youโ€™re still logged into your browser with your school account. Have you tried using a different browser or going into private/incognito mode? That's sometimes a good way to bypass old login settings.

Try clearing your browser cache. The steps can vary based on which browser you use, but it's usually pretty simple. Just search for instructions specific to your browser and you should find what you need!

QuantumPineapple79: Thanks for the tip! I already cleared the cache, but it didn't help. Any other ideas?
