I share my computer with someone who does not have a google account, I do not want them to be able to click on chrome and potentially access my saved data (ie. passwords/CC info). Everytime I attempt to logoff chrome (not my email, chrome itself), I only get the option to delete or change user. I just want my info off, do I have to delete my account each time or is there a way to just log my infomation off chrome?

It seems like this is a perfect use case for Incognito Mode. – Al Everett Sep 10 '12 at 13:21

Click on the spanner on the top right

Where it says "signed in as XYZ@gmail.com" click

then select "disconnect your google account"

then press ctrl + alt + delete and choose the combination of settings and the time frame required and clear all data

then its done.

alternatively use an incognito session in future

That button wasn't there last I checked. – raam86 Sep 10 '12 at 1:10

First you go to the option on the top right corner, that just looks like 3 parallel lines. Click that, then choose the option 'Signed in as 'your account'" then that will open to a new page. on the newly opened page choose the option down near the bottom of the page and choose "delete user" this wont delete the account forever, you can sign in as many times as you want anywhere and just use the same process if you want to "sign out"

Hope this helped :)

The answer is simple: You do not give them your password to the computer.

Do not log off from Chrome (or any other programs). Just log off from windows.
The next/other user then enter his or her non-admin username and password and all is fine.

And yes, I know this is not fully the answer you want to get. But it is the right one.

What if it's in a coffee shop? – raam86 Sep 9 '12 at 18:36
Nobody enters CC info in a coffee shop. But I guess it is a valid Q for much less important information (e.g. facebook accounts) where the danger of theft is not immediately obvious. – Hennes Sep 9 '12 at 18:54
except he specified that its a shared computer. – David McGowan Sep 9 '12 at 20:22
Aye. Which I took as a shared computer in a household. – Hennes Sep 9 '12 at 20:27
@raam86 https covers the coffee shop doesn't it? in addition to separate windows user accounts. (though of course, in theory if a password to another user account isn't strong and a person using the computer directly, sharing it, knows stuff, they could get it) – barlop Sep 9 '12 at 22:17
