I have two Steemit accounts. This one, which is my personal account, and @nssi-advocate, which is a project account that I have just set up and am working to start posting to.
I have been using Steemfollower (or "SF") for both of my accounts.
If you are unfamiliar with SF, just give it a quick search-a-roo or googley-goo and you'll find a ton of articles written about it. Here is my referral link if you're interested in signing up and want to spread the love like that: https://steemfollower.com/?r=10513
Moving on!
I know this may be rather insignificant and a tad petty, but I like SF and want to continue using it to its fullest extent.
SF relies on another awesome Steem-related project (off-chain? side-chain? two-chains? I don't know what we call these things) called SteemConnect ("SC"). It is an awesome project that you can read about here. The folks at @busy.org and/or
@fabien and
@ekitcho (it's hard for me to sometimes tell who is or was making things happen) have put together something very useful. I'm also not sure who is running the
@steemfollower account. Is it
@reko,
@neander-squirrel,
@mahdiyari or none of the above?
SC is a simple identity layer built on top of the Steem blockchain, that allows you to connect to authorized apps is a secure and convenient way.
Basically, the way my tiny little brain understands this is that SC communicates with the Steem blockchain to verify your identity in a secure manner and thus allows you to utilize the numerous and great, but somewhat still untested, Steem side-projects. That way, I don't have to worry about whether SteemBaths, my favorite virtual hygiene app, is 100% secure as long as SC has my credentials on lock-down.
Well, in furtherance of the goal to create a beautiful and streamlined user experience, SF, through SC, has started logging me in automatically without allowing an option to switch users. It was not a cookie/cache issue. And while I could probably clear saved passwords and start the login over each time, I'm not about to do that.
That is just about as far as my tool-set takes me.
Sure, I could probably also switch browsers, but for the love of all things that are holy, please do not make me use Internet Explorer; SF wouldn't even load on there when I tried.
If that's the case, my apologies for making a fuss over this and if you wouldn't mind holding my hand through the solution in the comments, I'd be forever grateful. Well, maybe not forever, but it would go a long way.
But, I also like to think that I'm not a total idiot and figured that if I am having this problem, then other people (who want to run two accounts) might be having this problem too. There is probably a pretty straight forward solution that people much smarter than myself could implement in their sleep.
So if any of you wonderful people have experienced this problem OR more importantly, have a solution, please drop some of thems wisdoms in a comment.
Until next time, be blessed.

Kind of redundant, but consistency is important. Thanks Ma!
Like most of you, I have been trying to build my Steemit account and community. It can take a lot of work to get started, but you are not without resources!
