+1 to this. Same use case, Team account for my work and Pro for personal use.

I would love to see this too!

Hello! I wrote an extension that might ease your pain. Check this thread:

I built an extension to run work and personal Cursor accounts at the same time (FOSS, no sign-out dance, no hacks, uses native userdata mechanism)

Hi there, I am a Software Engineer who has both a work and personal Cursor subscription and kept hitting the same wall: one Cursor account per machine, so do the sign-out-sign-in dance and STFU. Last time I checked, Cursor offers no out-of-the-box support for this use case. Cursor Profiles are fine for themes and settings, but they don’t give you a separate sign-in — you’re still on one account, one chat history, one subscription.

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

I desperately need you to implement multiple account logins with a simple profile switcher. I love Cursor, but the current account management is incredibly frustrating and actively breaking my workflow.

I am constantly jumping between different client projects and codebases. Right now, to switch to a different client’s account, I have to completely log out and log back in. The absolute worst part is that clients rarely provide full credentials. I am constantly having to ping them to approve logins or send codes just so I can get back to work. It’s exhausting, it kills my momentum, and honestly, it makes me look unprofessional having to ask for access multiple times a week.

Please, allow us to authenticate multiple Cursor accounts and just select the one we need from a dropdown. It’s a basic feature in almost every other dev tool, and I need it so badly here.

Describe the request

I’d like to easily switch between multiple cursor accounts on desktop, web, and mobile. I have personal projects and a work account. Switching right now is cumbersome and working on both simultaneously is not possible without using multiple computers.

Operating System (if it applies)

Describe the request

Please can we get a way to easily swap between cursor accounts. Or a way to tie a cursor account to specific projects.

Cursor mobile app has the same problem. No account switching means I use Cursor less because I’ll just open a different AI service, faster than logging out and in multiple times a day.

Please fix this.

This.
Will be unsubscribing because I’m currently paying for a sub that I’m not using, and there are other options. Would have been nice to at least have gotten an acknowledgment of the issue.

Hey, Dan!

I barely switch accounts on PC. Actually, never did!

Although, I switch them on my mobile all the time. Could this suggestion be added separately - Account switching on the iOS app?

thanks!

Prototyped a small mockup for how seamless account switching can enhance user experience

Cursor IDE UI/UX Design Tweaks #3: Add profile icon with embedded settings access

Add profile icon with embedded settings access Currently, switching or managing window profiles requires navigating through File > New Window with Profile, which isn’t intuitive and easily discoverable. Adding a profile picture/icon directly in the top-right corner, next to the panel toggle icons, would make this far more accessible. Clicking the icon could open an embedded settings panel showing the active profile, options to switch between profiles, manage accounts, and view authorization o…

+1 to this. I want to work on some personal projects at the moment but have my work account signed in.
