I created a new project with nothing in it.
When I created my first micro instance I did the following
Connect to it using the browser window SSH. I see:
user_name@instance-1:~$
If I connect using the gcloud command:
gcloud compute --project "projectname-165421" ssh --zone "us-east1-b" "instance-1"
I am brought to:
username@instance-1:~$
Why is this happening, and how do I resolve it?
This is creating two separate users which is creating a great deal of confusion for me!
Thank you

Connect through a browser from the GCP MarketplaceBrowse to the Google Cloud Platform console and sign in if required using your Google account. Find and select your project in the project list. Select the “Compute -> Compute Engine” menu item. Locate your server instance and select the SSH button.
OS Login simplifies SSH access management by linking your Linux user account to your Google identity. Administrators can easily manage access to instances at either an instance or project level by setting IAM permissions.
SSH-in-browser supports connections from VMs that store SSH keys in metadata, VMs that use OS Login, and VMs that use IAP for TCP forwarding. Each time you connect to a VM by using SSH-in-browser, Compute Engine creates an ephemeral key pair and sets a username for your connection.
By default, the cloudSDK will try to connect using the user running the command.
If you look at the docs, It says you can specify the username like you would, with your default ssh client.
Meaning on your computer:
gcloud compute --project "projectname-165421" ssh --zone "us-east1-b" "user_name@instance-1"
Alternatively, switch user in the browser window SSH:
sudo su username
I use this command to fix it on MacOS:
LOGNAME=ubuntu gcloud compute ssh app1
