Description
- be logged in on nc.com with user A
- add a new account via Desktop
- choose also nc.com, but aiming to log in with user B
- see grant access dialog
--> one does not have a possible to switch to another account.
The only way is to log out manually, but then login "token" needs to be reset and thus an entire re-login in Desktop needs to be started.

Research direction
Start with the reported web login flow: reproduce the Desktop account-add path on nc.com with one account already logged in, then inspect the grant access dialog. Done means a user can switch to another account during this flow without manually logging out or restarting the Desktop login process; no specific files or tests are identified in the issue.
