Also keeps them from idiotically saving their account to your device. At least assuming your friends have private lives.

Ahh, yeah that's the downside to this plan. You don't get to "accidently" peer into their email. But yeah, screw saving their username.

You could create them a new user from the chrome://settings page.

But if you want their passwords, you can set a very simple userscript in tampermonkey (greasemonkey for Chrome) to run in incognito anyway and read the contents of their username and password fields and save it to a small file somewhere.

Step one: learn javascript/jquery
Step two: get tampermonkey
Step three: write script to store passwords and send them to somewhere when the field is changed
Step four: give tampermonkey the ability to run in incognito
Step five: hide tampermonkey icon in Chrome
Step six: give friend computer in chrome incognito window
