Problem

In certain scenarios you may want to have Google Smart Lock disabled and here’s why. Instagram for an example. If you are a social media manager or a person with multiple profiles, you may have trouble adding or logging into a different account.

Let’s say if you are already logged into Account A, when trying to add Account B to your Instagram app, you will not be able to. On the login screen, Google Smart Lock will display, prevent you from typing in your login credentials for Account B and log you right back into Account A.

Solution

1) Go to Settings.
2) Click on Google.
3) Click on “Smart Lock for Passwords”.
4) Where it says “Auto sign-in”, click on the slider to Disable.

With Smart Lock disabled, on apps that allow you to add additional profiles, you won’t be forced to auto-sign. You can login and add additional accounts with no problems.
