Description

Right now a user can only log in to one WordPress.com account. Multiple apps (Instagram/Google+/Twitter) allow users to log in to multiple accounts. Maybe if the demand is high enough we can start working on it.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing WordPress.com login and account-handling flow in the WordPress-iOS repository. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first identify where the current single-account restriction is implemented. Done would mean supporting multiple WordPress.com accounts while preserving the existing login behavior, with tests covering the account flow.
