Signing out of Pokemon Go will cause several game settings, such as sound and music, to alter. If you already disabled them, you must return to the Settings menu and disable them again.

If you use a Google account with two-factor authentication enabled, you may need to complete that authentication again if you sign into the game. Whether or not this occurs is determined by the current Google settings for that device.

More Information on the Pokemon Go Sign-Out Process

You can sign into your account in a variety of ways. These include a Google account, a Pokemon Trainer Club account, a Facebook account, an Apple ID, and more. You will be able to select one of these alternatives from the login screen regardless of the method you use to sign into your account.

Depending on the measures you previously took to save your Google account information to your device, those credentials may or may not be immediately saved when you sign back in. If you are unsure about your password or email address for a specific Go account, you should double-check that you have this information before electing to sign out of an account.

Multiple devices can be signed into the same account at the same time. However, Go uses certain location information when you execute certain in-game behaviors, such as catching a Pokemon. If the following activity is conducted in a geographical area that cannot be practically reached in that timeframe, you may have some difficulties.

As an example, suppose you’re signed into your account in New York, and you capture a Pokemon. If a family member in Los Angeles is also signed into your account and tries to catch a Pokemon 5 minutes after you, that Pokemon will escape. This is one of the anti-cheating techniques Niantic has implemented in the game.

While you can sign in and out of several accounts on the same device, you won’t be able to execute certain tasks with multiple accounts since they must all be active at the same time. This implies you can’t trade Pokemon between different accounts on the same device.
