Feature request: Manual ordering and pinning of Google accounts in multi-account Chrome sessions

[Juan Ignacio Gutierrez Julian]

Dear Chromium team,

I am writing to suggest an improvement to Chrome and Google’s multi-account experience.

I regularly use Chrome with several Google accounts in the same browser session. I understand that Chrome profiles are often recommended for separating personal, academic and institutional accounts. However, profiles are not practical for my workflow: I work with many open tabs, saved tab groups and simultaneous institutional contexts, and moving everything across separate Chrome profiles disrupts my workspace.

The current multi-account system appears to assign accounts internally as u/0, u/1, u/2 or authuser=0, authuser=1, authuser=2, mainly based on sign-in order. This becomes difficult to manage when many accounts are used in the same browser session. If one account requires reauthentication, if a new account is added, or if an authorization flow opens unexpectedly, the wrong account may be selected by default.

This creates recurring problems in Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Forms, Meet and third-party authorization flows. The only reliable workaround is to sign out of all accounts and sign back in one by one in the desired order. For users who manage several personal, academic, professional or organizational Google accounts, this is inefficient and error-prone.

I would like to request a feature that allows users to manually reorder signed-in Google accounts within the account switcher, pin a preferred account order, and choose default accounts for specific Google services or authorization flows.

A possible implementation could include:

1. Drag-and-drop ordering in the Google account switcher.
2. A “set as primary account” option without requiring a full sign-out.
3. A fixed account priority list for the current Chrome session.
4. Better handling of account selection in OAuth and authorization prompts.
5. Optional account pinning for services such as Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Forms and Meet.

This would be especially useful for users who intentionally work from one Chrome profile with several tab groups and multiple institutional accounts, rather than splitting their workflow across many Chrome profiles.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards,
Juani Gutierrez
