Description

Expected behavior

I expected to be able to easily switch between more than one WordPress.com account.

Actual behavior

If I want to manage blogs as two separate identities then I must log out completely and log back in to be able to manage from more than one account.

Reason for the request

Asking because of a request in mobile support asking how to switch between two different identities if one account is for a private blog and the other is for a business.

Hi despite private account I have created business one as well. How can I managed them from app? Switch between them?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by reviewing the Android app’s existing login and logout flows, then define how multiple identities should be selected and managed; done means users can switch between separate WordPress.com accounts without logging out completely.
