Internet Explorer inprivate mode facilitates simultaneous logon of two accounts in a single system

As a developer, you often need to use multiple accounts to log on to a system for testing. When creating a workflow today, You need to log on to the system as multiple users. Frequent account switching and password input are troublesome, And it is useless to open multiple windows, because the latter login account will overwrite the previous login account, this is mainly because the cookie information of the latter overwrites the original information of the former. Someone has to say, use multiple browsers, and each browser can log on with one identity. Yes, no cookie will be shared, but unfortunately, the workflow system must use the xactive plug-in to run properly. Except for Internet Explorer, the system cannot be used normally.

Therefore, to log on to multiple accounts, you must isolate cookies. At this time, the inprivate browsing mode of IE browser is quite helpful. When you open a webpage window in this mode, all historical records will be cleared when you close the window, these include cookies, history records, and downloaded cache files. This function achieves cookie isolation in normal mode, that is, cookies in normal mode and inprivate mode are not mutually shared. Therefore, you only need to log on to an account in normal mode, and then select "inprivate" under the "Security" menu to open a new window to log on to another account, you can log on to two accounts at the same time.

However, the preceding method has a limitation that only two accounts can be logged on, but not three or more accounts. If more than three tools are required, you cannot rely only on IE, but also on other tools. For example, I used a sandboxie sandbox software. This software provides a sandbox environment. We only need to run an IE browser in this sandbox, then another cookie isolated browser is successfully run, and this sandbox software supports creating multiple sandboxes, that is, it supports n accounts to log on to the same system. In this way, I log on to three accounts for testing at the same time. Hope sharing is helpful to you. Welcome to my blog
