Launcher missed opportunity

Why oh why did they not put in easy multiple account switching? Why can't the launcher remember more than one email and password?
Mainly because this is a single account game. You don’t buy a secondary Cmdr, you are free however to buy a secondary version of the game, much to FD amusement. Putting a switch option in game puts an emphasis on this, and likely would cause some confusion to new players who would think the can have multiple Cmdrs, when in fact they can’t, they are just re-buying the game? It just wouldn’t look good.

Good point.

And full sympathy to those who can't access the game due to the new launcher, absolutely. But the rest of the hand-wringing is quite silly, and funny.
 
For me I log into each account then create a launcher for each as in EDLaunch01.exe and EDLaunch02.exe. Then I link them to desktop icons to start for me labeled Bubble and Colonia. That would eliminate any 'pick one' window should Frontier ever add one to the launcher process.
For the benefit of anyone else doing this, you need to do it the other way around. Create the launcher copies, then log in with them (the initial "log in" will be discarded and you will need to log in again). I was interpreting the instructions over-literally.
 
I’m having a terrible time on steam deck with the launcher. Its not good at all, you cant tick the ‘remember log in’ and still waiting for the code from email confirm. Changing account is rather challenging, need a mouse to click the tiny text.
