+1 Please ship this feature! Would make switching between work and personal so much easier.

I’m evaluating Airtable right now and the fact this isn’t possible is a HUGE deterant. I am willing to pay for Pro personally if I can see the value (which so far I can) and also for my company. I am not going to logout / in all day long for something that would be critical to my professional and personal workflow.

Hi Joe,

While not ideal, on my desktop I overcome this issue by using multiple web browsers. Safari is logged into my work airtable account and Google Chrome is what I’m using for my personal airtable account.

This does not really work on mobile, which is a real drawback. I hope this helps.

+1 to this. Signing out/back in to switch between work & personal accounts is enough friction that I’ve started exploring other products to replace airtable. It’s the superior product, but it’s just such a hassle - especially on mobile - when you want to quickly add to one of your bases in the moment and have to wade through the auth process. It often takes longer to access the data than it does to quickly make the intended update…

This is a basic requirement today, please implement asap!

I have Airtable accounts for two organisations, AND my personal Airtable! That’s three accounts!

A viable work-around (desktop only) that I have been using is Firefox’s Multi-Account Containers, an official addon that allows to keep different sessions in tabs under the same window. There’s apparently an alternative for Chrome called SessionBox, but I haven’t used it.

PLEASE!!! This is so needed and logging in and out is a total pain.

3 years of activity on this topic without any official input, kind of disappointing. Right now I’ve been keeping different browsers logged into my different airtable accounts in order to work around this, but it’s a huge pain.

Thanks, that’s a plus!

+1 on this feature. I have two organizations I’ve brought Airtable into and switching is a royal pain.


3 years! C’mon airtable… We know you can do this

Agreed. I have two work accounts and personal account where I have to log out and back in each time I need to make updates. Over the course of a work day, I might be logging out/in over a dozen times!

The (imo useful) tip I got from support was to use an extra “guest account” in Chrome to put 2 account next to each other.
