Reconnecting credentials log in automatically - help

[Sierk]

Describe the problem/error/question

Some credentials need reconnecting after their tokens have expired. This can be done by navigating to the credential tab, selecting the specific credential and pressing the big green button that sys “reconnect”. The thing is that my browser has in its cache my sign in, so when I press the reconnect button it automatically logs in with the microsoft account that is logged in in my browser. But I use multiple microsoft accounts for different processes and permissions in n8n. So now I have to open a fresh guest session of chrome to reconnect the credentials that do not use my own microsoft account. Because otherwise it will connect my own instead of a different specific account.

Is it possible to select something so that I always have to log in manually when reconnecting a credential?

Information on your n8n setup

• n8n version: 2.0.3
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Cloud

This is a well known limitation of your browser and needs to be configured on browser level.
As you mentioned, one work around is to use a private browser session,
another workaround would be to use browser profiles for each account
and another option would be to disable session cookies for these sites entirely in your browser.
But this will limit your daily use because you would always have to login again, even for your main account.

This is something n8n can’t change since it “just opens” a login window of the specific service.

Ahhh makes sense. I guess I’ll just keep opening guest browsers ;-). Thanks for the quick response!
