Using Incognito Mode to Resolve Login and Website Issues

What is Incognito Mode?

Incognito Mode is a private browsing feature that doesn’t save cookies, passwords, or browsing history. It’s a useful tool for troubleshooting login and website issues without affecting your regular account or browser settings.

How Incognito Mode Can Help

1.Testing Website Functionality:

•Use Incognito Mode to check if a website issue is related to your browser’s cache or stored cookies. If the site works in Incognito, clearing your cache or cookies might resolve the problem.

2.Signing in with Multiple Logins:

•Incognito Mode allows you to log into the same website with different accounts simultaneously. This is particularly helpful for testing another user’s login or accessing shared systems.

3.Troubleshooting Account Issues:

•If your account isn’t working as expected, Incognito Mode lets you test login credentials in a clean session without interference from stored settings or autofill data.

How to Open Incognito Mode

•Chrome: Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + N (Mac).

•Edge: Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + N (Mac).

•Firefox: Press Ctrl + Shift + P (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + P (Mac).

Key Reminder

While Incognito Mode is a helpful tool for testing, it doesn’t save passwords or browsing history, so you’ll need to re-enter login details each time. For additional troubleshooting or if issues persist, contact IT for assistance.
