  3. Notice, that the first account is gone.
Expected behaviour

The account should be added as additional account.

Actual behaviour

At current it only keeps the last account.

Logs

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

Debian Linux

NOTE: This only happens when you scan the QR-Code. If you log in with your password (which is tedious) it works.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the QR-code account-add flow in the iOS app with two different servers, then compare it with password-based login, which reportedly preserves both accounts. Done means adding a second account through QR code no longer removes the first account.
