Switching between personal and company/work Cursor accounts currently requires a full log-out and browser re-authentication flow, causing daily context-switching friction.
Proposed Solution:
Native multi-account management inside Cursor IDE (similar to VS Code profiles or GitHub account switching).
Key Capabilities:
Account Profiles: Store multiple logged-in Cursor accounts in the IDE.
1-Click Switch: Toggle active accounts directly from the status bar or Accounts menu.
Workspace Binding (Optional): Automatically associate specific folders/workspaces with a default account.
Why It Matters:
Avoids Credit/Billing Mix-ups: Prevents accidental usage or API credit spend on the wrong account.
Security & Compliance: Keeps company repositories clearly separated from personal account activity.
Developer Experience: Saves time for engineers managing dual roles daily.
Hey, thanks for the detailed feature request. This is one of the most common requests on the forum. There’s a big canonical thread where users discuss it and vote: Seamless Account Switching in Cursor. I’d recommend posting there and adding your vote and details so the signal stays in one place.
Honest status update: we know about this request, but there’s no native account switcher yet, and it’s not on the roadmap right now. I can’t share an ETA. Having multiple accounts is totally fine. The only restriction is sharing a single account.
Until there’s a native feature, here’s a working workaround: run separate Cursor instances with isolated profiles using the --user-data-dir flag:
Each instance keeps its own login, so you can work in parallel on work and personal without constantly signing in and out. As an alternative, you can use the web version in separate browser profiles.
Let me know if this workaround doesn’t fit your setup.
I have separate computers for work and personal use so there is no issue there. The issue is with the mobile app where I only have a personal device and it is super annoying having to switch accounts every day I go to work and come home from work if I want to do anything from my phone.
How do Cursor employees work on personal projects with the Cursor app? Account switching is one of those fundamental features that should be on the roadmap by default. I’m literally using Cursor less because it is faster to just open Claude or ChatGPT mobile apps for my personal work.
Please add multi-account management in Cursor IDE: save more than one Cursor account and switch between them in the app (similar to Grok Bot’s “Add account” + account switcher), without fully signing out / clearing local session each time.
Why
Many users have Work + Personal Cursor accounts, or separate accounts for company reimbursement vs personal Pro.
Today, switching accounts is clumsy (sign out → sign in), easy to mix usage / quota / billing, and painful when you care about per-account remaining quota.
Grok Bot already has a clear pattern: account menu → current account → Add account / switch. Cursor IDE should match that UX for the same product family.
Proposed behavior
Account menu shows the current signed-in account (email / plan).
Add account → sign in another Cursor account and keep it on this device.
Switch account → change active account for Agent / Tab / models / dashboard usage.
Optionally: show which account’s quota is being consumed (Pro / remaining %), and keep settings sync independent of which account is active (or document clearly if settings are per-account).
Scope notes
This is a product feature request, not a billing dispute.
Primary need: Cursor Pro multi-account + quota clarity for IDE usage.
Reference UX: Grok Bot account switcher.
Environment
Cursor Pro; macOS; cares about model quota and multi-account separation.
Each instance keeps its own login, so you can stay signed into work and personal at the same time without constantly signing out and back in.
On mobile, for @mattaningram and @Sinn, there isn’t a workaround like this right now, and the mobile app also doesn’t have a native account switcher yet. I can’t share an ETA. The request is on our radar, but it isn’t on the roadmap right now. The feedback about per-account quota visibility from @Sinn also makes sense, and I’ll pass that along.
Just to clarify, having multiple personal accounts is fine. The only restriction is sharing one account between multiple users.
To keep the signal in one place instead of spreading it across lots of threads, the best thing to do is add your vote and details to the main thread here, where this is being discussed most actively: Seamless Account Switching in Cursor
I can’t recommend anything for third-party switching extensions. We don’t support or verify them, so please be careful with logging in through third-party tools.
