how to switch google play accounts on Note 20 Ultra?

[Donglelife872]

It's pretty rare that I use google play. I went there today to try and download an app but the geniuses decided it would be a good time to force people to use more 'secure' logins (biometrics, etc.).

It's tied to a made-up email (a google-generated one, which I don't even have a password to) from a really old (like 2015) google play gift card. There seems to be no apparent way to switch accounts or sign up for a new one.

I'm doing it from the google play app in the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra.

How do I get rid of the useless screen and sign up for a new account?

*Edit, the useless screen finally went away and I was able to create a new account. However, it's still stuck on the old, useless account. How do I switch it?

I'm not sure what I downloaded on the play store and what I downloaded on the Galaxy store. I don't have many downloaded app,but playerpro is an integral one to my daily life. I don't want it to go away.

Good ol' google. Google: "Let's make it as hard as possible!"

Update: It dawned on me that I'm still logged onto the old account. I was able to update the needed app. However, this will eventually be a problem when this account eventually stops working. I can't do anything with it.

Which Google account is the phone itself logged into? In the Play Store app, tap the profile pic at the upper right, then tap the down-facing arrowhead next to the currently logged in profile. Do you see any other accounts there? You can also tap the "Manage accounts on this device" option as well to see which Google accounts (as well as other accounts) are signed in.

I actually feel that it's a good thing for there to be heightened security in the Play Store. There's a lot of stuff there that money can be wasted on, so when real money is involved, increased security should be welcomed (even if the user typically only goes for the free items).
