# The sign-in opened in the wrong Chrome profile. Does that matter?

Usually not. The account you add is whichever one you choose on the provider's sign-in page, not the browser profile itself. On Google's chooser, pick the account you want or click **Use another account** and sign in there.

If you'd rather keep that profile untouched, click **Cancel** in Storage Studio, open the profile you want as your browser's active window, and start the sign-in again. The browser used is your Mac's default browser.
