You won’t need an email account or phone number or anything else, you’ll simply be prompted for a user name and password. Simply click the link “Sign in with local account instead” to create one. Luckily, if you simply want to maintain an account locally, you can still do that. This obviously shares a lot of information with Microsoft and it may very well be a bit overkill for some users. Your apps, profile picture, color choices, and more are uploaded to the cloud so wherever you log into next, it appears as you left it on the previous device. Note for Chromebook owners: instead of following these instructions, you'd set up a second profile on the computer instead of within Chrome.A Microsoft account allows you to sync your settings and basically roam from computer to computer.
Choosing a different profile will open a new window. Mac users can also use the "People" menu in the Chrome menu bar. For example, the image below shows a profile named "Brown" clicking it will allow you to open another profile. When you want to open your other profile, click the button with your profile name in the top right corner of Chrome and you will see the option to Switch Person (you can also right click on your profile name to pick from a list of all profiles). Signing into Chrome will also sign you into your Gmail, but if you would rather not sync, you can skip this step and simply visit to log in, checking the "keep me signed in" option. You will be prompted to sign in to your Google account in the new profile - this is an optional step that lets you sync your bookmarks, web history, and settings from computer to computer in Chrome. Choose a user icon and name your profile so it'll be easier to find (e.g., "Brown Account" or "Personal Gmail"). Scroll down to Manage People, from there you click “Add Person” at the bottom right. At the top right of your screen next to the three dots, click on the circle with your initial/profile picture and a drop down menu should appear. For example, in one window you might be looking at your Brown Gmail, Calendar, and Docs, and in another window you might be reading your personal Gmail and using YouTube and Blogger with your personal account. 
You can have a window open for each account. This is a great way to work with more than one Google account (for example, and accounts) in Chrome without having to sign in and out, or use incognito windows.
