    Default Are Google stupid or is it just me?

    Some of you might be aware but Google seem to be trying to snyc up user's accounts for ease of us. When I attempt to login to Adsense I get notified of a new Google Key type thing which is going to help me login to different Google Apps using the same login. In order to complete the wizard you must answer the following questions...

    Quote Originally Posted by Google Adsense Page

    Which best describes you?
    I have an AdWords account or another AdSense account.
    > I have an email address and password I already use with Google services like Gmail, Orkut, or the personalized home page.
    I do not use these other services.

    Would you like to have a single account for all Google services?
    You can use your existing Google account email address and password for AdSense as well. Or you can choose new ones just for AdSense.
    > I would like to use my existing Google account for AdSense.
    I would like to choose a new login name and password just for AdSense.
    So I type in my gmail a/c and I get a message stating....

    A user with the email you specified already exists
    Please select a different Google Account login to access this account.
    Am I doing something wrong or is this wizard just thick?

    Yeah it wasn't very well thought out IMHO. So now you will need to have a gmail (google) a/c to have AdSense access. I guess this will enable them to gather even more data on you !

    I had to create a new account for adsense yesterday, what a confusing wizard. Now when I try to log into adwords, it throws up another wizard wanting me to create another account. I have to log out of my new account to avoid the wizard and log into adwords and vice versa. Bit of a pain.
