If you are a worker or a student, you may be able to receive a Google Workspace Apps Account for your employment or education in a university. But you might also wish to administrate your domains, in which case entering admin.google.com in the URL will cause it to redirect you to the login page for your university or work When I try to log in, I get an error notice claiming that I do not have a Google Apps Account or an administrator account or admin privilege for a managed Google Service. This is because general staff in an office or university do not get Google App Accounts.

i.e. Google continuously pushes me to log in to work or university accounts that I am unable to access, and you won't be required to login to every account that you've ever used on that browser.

FAQ:

When I attempt to log in to admin.google.com, I am continuously sent to apps.google.com. Why?

If you aren't logged in with an account that has admin capabilities, you won't be able to access the admin section of Google's website, therefore you'll be taken to the apps section instead of admin.google.com.
