# Use a work and a personal account (/how-to/use-two-accounts)



Your first account is `default`: the Claude login already on your machine. Add the second one under a name of your
own. Every detail of `/account` is in [Switch models and accounts](/models-and-accounts#switch-accounts).

## 1. Add the second account [#1-add-the-second-account]

```text
/account add work
```

Jinion opens the sign-in in your browser. Sign in with the other login, paste the code the browser shows and press
`enter`. Jinion says `Signed in to work as me@acme.dev. Pick it here to switch.`

## 2. Switch [#2-switch]

Type `/account`, move to the account and press `enter`, or switch straight away:

```text
/account work
```

In the middle of a conversation, Jinion says `Switched to the work account; the conversation carries on there.` The
conversation goes on under the new login, and later sessions start with it.

The switch happens between turns, so let the current one finish or press `esc` first. What runs in the
[background](/background-tasks) stops.

## 3. Check which one is in use [#3-check-which-one-is-in-use]

The banner at the top shows who you're signed in as, such as `ACME · Team` or `me@example.com · Max`. To keep it in
view, turn on the Account segment in [`/statusline`](/status-line).

`/account` also shows each account's plan limits when you last used it, so you can see which one has room left.

## When a login expires [#when-a-login-expires]

The account shows `Not signed in; press enter to sign in` in `/account`. Press `enter` on it and sign in again in the
browser. To sign an account in again with another login, move to it and press `l`.

Signing in again to the account in use keeps the conversation going with the new login.

## Remove an account [#remove-an-account]

In `/account`, move to the account and press `d` twice. Or type:

```text
/account remove work
```

Jinion signs it out and says `Removed the work account and signed it out. Its conversations stay.` You can't remove
the account in use, or `default`.
