Switch Minecraft Accounts Easily

Dear Mojang,

I have purchased three Minecraft accounts over the years of playing this amazing game!

I will jump straight to the point I would love to add multiple accounts on the launcher so I don't have to keep signing in and out of one when I'm jumping on my alternative accounts. It would be the equivalent of switching profiles but on the drop-down feature where it also gives you the option to log out!

I hope this gets upvoted due to many people having multiple Minecraft accounts and it would make mine and other people's lives a little easier when logging on to their second, third, or fourth accounts. 

 

P.s. Thank you for the awesome updates you have been giving this community lately! Keep up the good work!

 

Many thanks,

    You can already have multiple accounts in the launcher and switch between them without signing out. Click on "Settings" and go to "Accounts". You can there add more accounts to the launcher. If you have more than one account, you can switch them by clicking on your profile in the top left. This has been a feature forever.

    I agree. With the new launcher update, it will not allow you to have multiple Microsoft accounts like it does on the last version of the launcher

    Please, Mojang. I'm begging you. Going through the entire process is tedious as hell. Just add a quick switch button like before.

    it used to be as easy as a switch account button and then click the other account in the launcher, but now with the migration, you can't quick switch Microsoft accounts

    I would take it a step further and allow account switching in-game from the menu. In a shared computer situation that requires a lot of account switching, having to completely close and reopen the game each time can painful.

    In case this helps isolate the issue, when I go to use the supposed "add account" feature, it asks me to login with my alt accounts Microsoft login (different than my primary - different emails entirely) it then seemingly logs me out of my current Account. Not actually "Adding" anything, but requiring me to switch entirely.
