PROBLEM

I have multiple accounts, one for my OCs and one for my adopts. They're separate so that I can use specific tags on this account to help me organize, and a ton of different and varying tags on the adopt account to help people find them easier when searching through "Browse." I haven't been checking the other account as much as I should because whenever I log out of this account, it logs me off on ALL of my devices. As someone who uses TH on my home computer, my work computer, and my phone, it's a bit annoying. I honestly think I've only checked the adopt account twice, at the most. I suppose incognito tabs are an option, but my work computer blocks those from opening, and I have enough windows on my home computer as-is. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem, as a lot of people have alt accounts.

SOLUTION

What I propose is a toggle button, maybe in the notifications bar, or maybe in the dropdown under your username, where you can toggle between alt accounts. To make this button different from the others, it could have the user pic of the other account as the button, similar to how some HTMLs on this site show featured characters. As a precaution against accidental links, like if a friend uses your computer or something, you could need to put in the user and password of the accounts on both ends. For example: Say you're trying to link users @DangerNoodle and @/SeaUnicorn. On Danger's end, you have to put in Sea's user & password to link it, and visa versa. This has to happen when logged in to BOTH accounts, or else it won't link. When you put in the info, you could get a notification box with something along the lines of "are you sure you want to link" with a checkbox before you can press the "okay" button, like when nuking notifications. You could get a notif in your other account when someone tries to link to make the process quicker. Then, it's as easy as switching to any other page on TH! Linking and unlinking could happen through your Settings.

I can see this being SUPER useful for a friend of mine who has an alt for the CS they're running (and maybe myself if I decide to do mine that way when I launch it)

And also my own alt which I haven't touched in like 2 years probably now because its just a pain to swap

i use different web browsers for each (and i dont really use my alt for much) but this would be easier for sure
