Easy Account Swapping

New launcher makes it take about 2-3 minutes to switch from one microsoft linked account to the other. There needs to be a simpler way for people who have alternate account. I am a server owner so every time I need to make another session of minecraft with my alt account. It takes forever and there are lots of clicks along the way for an account that I am already signed in on. Please consider making it a little faster and easier to transition from account to account. Most people don't have this issue because they only have one account or don't have to log on to their other account that often. But when I am testing things out on my server. It just creates additional longer steps to get another session running. Doing this was very easy on the other launcher. But with the new one, it take far too long.

    I agree. The old launcher allowed for quicker account swapping. Now if I want to log in with one of my alts and my main account it takes WAY longer. Before updating the launcher I did not have this issue.

    The lack of easy account swapping is why I haven't switched over to the new launcher. It is identical in nearly every other way, but account switching is so slow that I never want to use the new launcher.

    I agree, after swapping my account to a microsoft account I completely lost access to two accounts. I would try to log in through microsoft where it would fail and then I wouldn't be able to swap to the other accounts through the launcher either. I expect some type of customer support but have received none.

    We have 3 accounts here. It should become easy enough for my kids to switch to 'their' account so they aren't forced to just use my account and then proceed to yeet my netherite tools.
