What is incognito/private browsing?

Using incognito or private browsing mode has certain advantages. In its simplest form, this mode does not save the browsing history of visited websites, store cookies that indicate your visits to specific sites, or remember login credentials such as passwords. By signing into your account through an incognito browser, you can effectively start to troubleshoot any sign-in problems or account conflicts you may be experiencing.
