How can I login with my account on my wife's computer?

  • On her computer, my wife is permanently logged into her Google account.
  • She never uses (or has used) SU.
  • I want to fix stuff on her computer and access my SU account to ask questions.
  • I always use my Google login to login to my SU account (well, I'm also permanently logged in to Google and all SE sites I use).

How can I use my Google login to log into SU on her (Win 10) machine, without having to log her out of her Google account?

  • I tried just logging in with my Google user/pass, but then I still get redirected to Google, where it says 'SU is asking for permission'.
  • As per this answer, I tried entering http(s)://www.google.com/profiles/JanDoggen under Other login options/OpenID login, but this gives me No OpenID endpoint found.
    That URL no longer seems to work, if I enter it in a browser I get redirected to https://profiles.google.com/JanDoggen with a 404 error

I would like to do this without SU/SE staff being involved. They have enough to do already ;-)
