Got a Meep for my daughter and it needs a google account to access Play market. Anyone know if i can create a secondary email address on my google account so that my apps dont appear in her meep?

Wanting a second account so i can monitor the email for spam and dodgy stuff, she wont be accessing the email but it is needed for accessing the Play market.

Cheers.

I don't think you can do that. You could create a new account, and set it to auto-forward everything to your current account.

Start a new account then I'm sure there's an option to link/merge accounts.....

I manage a few accounts from my phone and browser. You just create a new account to start with.

Then in your browser, or from the gmail app, you can add a new account.

In the browser, when you are logged in, click your name in the top right and add account. You can then use this dropdown to toggle between multiple accounts.

On the app you can go to settings and add account and once added/logged in, switch between them.

From the gmail app in Android:
Add account - add existing or create new.
