My fiancee and I received EX invites to a raid that she can't make it to. I planned to dig up an old phone and sign into her account on it to do the raid for the both of us. Problem is, whenever I sign out on one phone and go to the sign in screen I get the three methods of signing in but am never asked for login info (e.g. if I hit "Sign in with Google" it automatically signs into my account). How can I sign into her account through my phone? Android if it makes a difference.

You have to go into the Google Apps on the phone and outright log out. NOT the Pokémon Go app - go into GMail or YouTube or something that is not directly connected to Pokémon Go, and log out from that app. Then you can log in with her credentials, and you will have the option for both accounts going forward.

It might take a few attempts as Google is not happy when you log out on Android.

No.

Don't need to log out of google apps at all.
Just need to add the 2nd google.

If that works for you, good on you. I've never found the "Add New Account" to be reliable. Either it doesn't work at all (doesn't recognize the credentials) or when I go to log into a service, it doesn't show up until I've actually logged into the service with those new credentials.
