"Fitbit will delete data if you don’t migrate to Google Account by 2026"

draft - Can they keep an email and password login option? An issue with strictly Google account SSO is that it doesn't play nicely with a multiple users setup. For example, some folks, me included, have a default user logged into their "default" Google account. But then we also have an alt user where we login to our alt Google account. The idea being data segregation, especially for things like Google photos which could potentially risk cross account data contamination. Anyways, while it's fine to login with Google when in the default space, when we login to our alt user space, the whole idea is to not be logged into our "default" Google account while logged into our "alt" user space. They have sort of solved the issue a bit with private space. It works great in the default user, so when we're in the default user, we can unlock private space and access our alt Google account without having to log out of the default space. Can they please bring private space to more than just the default user? Then, when logged into a second user, we could unlock private space and have that be logged into the default user, without having to worry about cross-account data contamination. We could then also use Fitbit. Another kinda maybe simpler option is that Fitbit could also add support for login with Microsoft, since, microsoft is a non-google entity, you don't have to worry about all the Google apps syncing data. Another option would be to just keep email and password login. The same thing goes for the nest app, Google chat, Gemini, and any other apps and services which only support login with google. Thank you.

draft - sms+multiple users, private space+ multiple users

if we're talking about Google messages, can I ask them to make it support multiple users better? What I mean is that on pixel, using multiple users, the texts don't always "sync up" properly between users. Like if I send an sms when logged into user 2, sometimes when I switch to the default user, I don't see the sent sms there. By nature I have a default user+ alt user space kinda setup. Because of the issues with sms, and because I also have a multiple device setup, I have began trying to rely on something like MS teams chat, and to some extent Google chat. Since these are server based, there's no issue with syncing. With private space, I can login to my alt Google account without having to log out of my default account but still keep it separated from the default system. However one thing lacking is private space is not available in multiple users. It's only available to setup in the default user. Google, could we get private space for multiple users? Or at least one more user. Thank you.

Google should let people who use the multiple users feature add private space as well.

Google chat is a good service. But it doesn't quite pass the multiple users test. Some people, myself included, have a 2 user setup on Google pixel. Meaning, a default user, and an alt user. The reason for the 2 user setup is to avoid mixing data between the 2 user spaces. An issue with Google services on Android and ChromeOS is that, if you login to one Google app, it signs into all the other Google apps and services.

On Android and ChromeOS, could we get an option for a checkbox on login to Google apps for something like "just login to this one app (don't sign in to other Google apps)" or something to that effect? Either that, and/or, an option/ability to set a secondary/non-google login to Google chat with a few other alternate forms of non-google verification like microsoft/outlook account /yahoo /apple etc.

basically, any method whereby it'd give users the ability to login to certain Google apps like Google chat, without carrying the baggage of an entire Google account (photos, files, email etc) when logging in.

Another thing is that Google should bring private space to multiple users. The beautiful of Google pixel phones is the ability to have multiple users so users can have complete data separation. And while private space for the default profile is ok, where it would really shine is bringing private space to multiple users so we can access our "default" Google accounts in our "alt" user space without mixing data between the two users.

draft - Will private space be allowed on multiple users? - search topic

https://www.google.com/search?q=Will+private+space+be+allowed+on+multiple+users

Or better worded:

Will Android 15 private space be able to be set up on multiple users?

For example, if I have a userA+userB setup, where I generally avoid logging into userB when in userA and vice versa, it would be nice to use private space to login to userB from userA in the private space, but it'd also be nice to be able to setup private space with userA when I'm logged into userB.

yaknow, if samsung wants to be a company who does software and stuff like that, then maybe they should go all in.

like, yaknow how microsoft has like, microsoft teams, and outlook and dozens of other relatively good web based stuff, which can be useful in a google operating system with multiple users where a user might have 2 umbrella accounts for themselves.

like, for example, i have a userA+userB setup. i use microsoft things like todo etc, so that i can access the todo list without having to signin from one google umbrella account inside the other, thereby dragging all the userA baggage into userB, or vice versa.

but, maybe samsung themselves should try to be more like a microsoft. like, create a united states company dedicated to software that's not google, but built for the google operating system world of android and chromeos, where users might want a relatively large third party company like microsoft, or in this case, a theoretically more "legit" version of a samsung that acts more like "a microsoft".

possible solution for accessing a userA google umbrella account while signed into a userB umbrella account on chromeOS where i want to avoid data leakage between the two umbrella accounts

ok i think i may have figured out my solution to the issue of having two umbrella accounts and not wanting to mix data between them, but still being able to login to my userA umbrella account when i'm logged into userB on android/chromeOS.

the Opera Browser android app on google play

it seems pretty legit, and it seems kinda desktop-y. so, i just signed into my userA google account using the Opera Browser android app, while logged into my userB google account user setup on my chromebook. I just closed it for a second but i'm gonna try to open it up now and see if i can do what i had done when i was using the linux version of chrome which had better data segregation / separation from the rest of chromeOS in terms of google accounts.

update - ok, so one thing you kinda lose is the complete login to all the other services etc... like, on chrome, you've got all your logged in sites and stuff like that, i suppose i could start logging into things using the opera browser...or maybe even download and try the firefox android app. hm. its almost like, it'd be nice if there was a version of the chrome browser on the google play store specifically made to be used so that it would not automatically login to the google services that you have signed into using the account on your android or chromeos setup. the solution there is essentially the linux version / debian version of the chrome browser. the problem is, google doesn't put *that* version on the google play store for chromeOS. and even if it did, they'd probably think that everyone would want it to auto-login to your google account you have on your chromebook, and while many people maybe would, it goes against the issue trying to be solved in this post, where some people would *not* want it to behave that way.

another idea is the microsoft edge browser.

it'd be nice if some of these android app browsers on the google play store would know when they're being installed on a chromebook and give us a user interface that's slightly better geared for a big screen / mouse and keyboard - like, the bookmarks bar. that'd be a nice addition for these things.

draft - things i wanna see with google:

-chrome profiles on chromeOS (if lacros is going away)

-ability to choose the android app apk instead of the pwa for twitter (twitter website only allows 5 profiles, android app has no limitation)

-data segregation options for google accounts on chromeOS and android - for example, when logging into a google account, allow us to click a data segregation button where we can tell chromeos to only allow a few specific websites for that profile. and to not login to any other google services or google apps with that google account. want this for android as well as chromeos

-make the gemini advanced login be separate from a google account. or add the ability to "login with microsoft", "login with openID", "login with apple" in addition to traditional google login so that if we have a one person multiple users setup, we can login to gemini advanced without the baggage of the entire google account. this would sort of go back to data segregation options as well.

another app that could benefit from a long to be separate from a google account would be google chat. if we have a one user multiple user profiles setup, it'd be nice to be able to login to google chat across android / chromeos profiles without carrying the baggage of the entire account's data set.

Google umbrella accounts, multiple users, data segregation, google photos, Windows11, and chromeOS

DAE have 2 main umbrella google accounts for themselves that they actively avoid logging in to one when they're logged into the other?

for example.

Google Umbrella Account A + a few google accounts

Google Umbrella Account B + a few google accounts

inside Google Umbrella Account A, i login to accounts that appropriate to be logged into for the google umbrella account A.

inside Google Umbrella Account B, i login to the accounts that are appropriate to be logged into that umbrella account

On my google operating systems, such as android and chromeOS, I maintain multiple users, and login to those accounts inside the separate users.

does anyone else do this?

an issue I have dealing with these umbrella accounts though is that on google operating systems, it feels a little more of a chore for data segregation between the two accounts, whereas, on a windows computer, while i do have 2 separate users, I *can* , *I think* *relatively* comfortably login to Umbrella Account A as a chrome profile while signed into the windows account thats made to be the "B-esque" user profile for the Umbrella Google Account B. the reason is that, logging into a chrome profile on windows, its not going to attach that profile to other google services, because its a windows computer. but on a google OS like chromeOS or android, it *is* possible that it would attach that profile to other google services like google photos, etc...I like google photos and what it does, but, ... somehow, is my situation too much of a niche setup that nobody else cares about this or am i the only one or is anyone else have a similar setup with regards to their web based digital footprints

now i need to think of some hashtags, or if i want to add hashtags to this post.

the reason i don't like samsung is because the deliberately destroyed / removed the multiple users function that's built into android. if they had that, i'd be cool with them.
