How to keep each client's logins separate on Windows

When you work for several clients, their logins end up in the same place as yours: one browser, one saved-password list, one set of tabs. It works until it doesn't. A post goes out from the wrong account, a client asks you to hand everything back, or you realise a password you were given in an email two years ago still works. This guide covers the free ways to keep each client's accounts properly apart on a Windows PC, starting with the one that matters most. Quick answer: ask each client to give you your own access instead of their password, keep each client in its own browser profile, and store anything you do have to keep in a password manager, with each client's logins kept together. 1. Ask for your own access, not the client's password The safest login is one you never hold. Many platforms let the account owner invite you with your own login, so nobody shares a password. Meta's business tools are a good example: the owner adds you through their busines...

A simple system for freelancers juggling several clients

With one or two clients you can keep everything in your head. Somewhere around the third or fourth, things start to slip: a file saved in the wrong place, a task you meant to do on Tuesday, a login you can't find. The answer usually isn't a bigger tool. It's a simple system you'll actually keep using. This is the system we'd recommend to any freelancer, creator or small team running several clients or projects from one PC. It's free and takes about an hour to set up. The idea in one line: give every client one home for their files, tasks and logins, look at all of them once a week, and plan each day from that. 1. Write a short card for each client Start with one note per client. Keep it short enough to read in ten seconds: Who: main contact, and how they like to be reached. What: what you do for them, in one line. Where: the accounts and tools you use for them, and how you get access. When: regular deadlines, like a weekly post or a monthly rep...

How to use several Instagram accounts on one PC without logging out

If you look after more than one Instagram account, you know the routine: log out, log back in, type a code, and hope you're posting from the right one. On a phone it's easy enough. On a Windows PC it's less obvious, especially when you want two accounts open at the same time. This guide covers every free way to do it, what each one is good at, and where each one falls short. None of it needs special software unless you want it to. Quick answer: to switch between up to five accounts, use the Switch option on instagram.com. To keep two or more accounts open at the same time , give each one its own browser profile (Chrome or Edge) or its own container tab (Firefox). 1. Use Instagram's own account switcher Instagram lets you add several accounts and move between them without logging out each time. Meta's Help Center puts the limit at five accounts. How to add a second account on your PC Go to instagram.com and log in to your main account. Find Switch ne...
