When you have multiple accounts, say google, and you are forced to sign back in there is no way to know which one it is you are authorizing. The example list may look like this:

Google
Not signed in
Google
example@gmail.com
Google
Not signed in

This means that once you authorise an account with credentials for another one you have to repeat the process all over. Please add a way to obtain account information either in a long tap menu or some other way.

I had noticed the same problem, it's very annoying!

faced same problem. I had to guess which account was which and guessed wrong and had to delete accounts and create them again.

Yeah, very annoying indeed. Example: http://albin.abo.fi/user/jfors/images/20140814204800_anon.png

The silly thing is that you can tap the account like you would to edit the settings, but this time it sends you to a page saying "Not signed in" / "The account is currently not in use". There should be enough room to print your e-mail address in full!

I noticed today that the "Account details" page (what you get when tapping one of the not-signed-in-accounts) shows the e-mail and type. This might have come with the 1.1.1.27, Vaarainjärvi update.

You still have type in your e-mail once you get to the Google sign-in page, but worst case you have to close the Settings app and go back to Accounts and Account details to view which e-mail address to enter.

Yes. This has now been fixed. Jolla has added an intermediate step, which provides more details. Thanks for pointing this out :)
