I logged in to IMDb via Google on Chrome. Now, every time I bring up IMDb on Chrome, it automatically references my Google account and logs me in. I want IMDb to authenticate me via my Google account, but don't want it to do this automatically. I want to be forced to type in my password to authenticate me (it's a shared workstation: Someone could post stuff in my name!)
I've looked all over the place for a Chrome setting or IMDb setting that would address this, but turned up nothing. HELP!

I almost always avoid using my personal accounts on any "shared" stations or devices.

With that said, just hypothetically if I were to do so in Chrome,
I suppose that I would use either an "Incognito" window or a "Guest" window;
and I would close that incognito or guest window  (so that its cookies
and thus its logins should be cleared)  every time I leave the shared station.
