Answer 1

You can use map() and get() to get all values. This will return the array of all checked values. Use join() to convert the array into string.

$('input[name="accounts"]').on('click', function() {
  var result = $('input[name="accounts"]:checked').map(function() {
    return this.value;
  }).get();

  $("#accounts-text").html(result.join("<br />"));
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<label><b>Accounts</b></label><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="accounts" value="Gmail"> Gmail
<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="accounts" value="Facebook"> Facebook
<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="accounts" value="Instagram"> Instagram
<br>
<div class="form-group">
  <label>Accounts: </label>
  <h5 id="accounts-text"></h5>
</div>
