Testing UI5 apps with multiple simultaneous sessions/users in Google Chrome

Maybe you already know this little trick, but I have been struggling quite some time before I found this out.

When testing UI5 apps (or other web apps for that matter), from time to time you come across situations where you want to test a certain app with multiple users at the same time.

But since browsers are caching logon tokens, one cannot just open a new session and test the same app with another user.

Until recently I used the Incognito mode in Google Chrome to be able to actually do this, because Incognito modes does not share session data with normal mode. However separate Incognito sessions do share data. So using this approach, one would have to close all incognito sessions in order to log on with another user.
