Alternatively, you can add another OpenID to your account which is not associated to your Google account. This has also some other benefits in terms of privacy.

@David Thanks! This is what you get when you write things at zombie mode around 2:30am

I think if you don't click "stayed signed in" when you log in, then gmail will forget about you once all the browser windows are closed.

@Asaf - might want to edit your second attempt at spelling 'shift'...

You can always turn on private browsing. I always do that when I know that the sessions might be saved later (e.g. someone else's computer, or a public profile)

Ctrl+Shift+N in Chrome.
Ctrl+Shift+P in Firefox.

No idea about Safari and IE since I don't use them (but the function definitely exists).

Hi,

This is my first time in meta so I hope this question is acceptable.

Is there anyway to login to mathoverflow without having to login to gmail as well? Or even is there a way to simultaneously logout of both at the same time? I ask because sometimes I logout of mathoverflow but forget to logout of gmail. I've been lucky enough to be using my own computer when that happens so far though.

Thanks
Eugene
