I need to sign into my account and save my info but from time to time I need to be able to save info to another account. They must be kept separate. Right now I have to sign out of Evernote and sign into the other account or have one on my desktop and the web version of the other account open. Is there a way to have two accounts open at the same time? This is only necessary on my computer. I don't use both while mobile.

I first asked this question 3 or 4 years ago. :mellow:

Two accounts open at the same time? No

If one of the accounts is premium, you can switch between them easily, from within Evernote, without signing out and back in. There is a slight delay as the software loads the desired database.

i believe it's called "Account Switching", and requires one of the latest betas.

Regards,

Gary

Both Mac and Windows stable desktop clients now support "Account Switching". This makes it faster to switch accounts, but, still does not allow more than one instance of the client per system.

Situation is essentially unchanged since the last time you asked.

They are both premium accounts. I don't see account switching.

What version are you using? The current public version is 4.5.8.7356 (267864)

Look in the File menu, and also try customising the top toolbar and add the "User" button

Btw. Evernote logs me out of my additional account after every computer restart – is there a way to remember password?

If you have "stay signed in" checked when you sign in, you shouldn't need to login
If you have a serious issue with Evernote, you can submit a support request here. Evernote employees read the forums, but it is not run by customer support or a way to directly get customer support.

Hmm... seems to work now. Probably I had to sign out of my main account and sign in again before EV started to remember my additional accout.
