Switching Accounts does not work

[JonnyIV]

Product

Nitro

Version

24.0.3

Link to minimal reproduction

impossible to provide, since this is not a code issue

Steps to reproduce

• Log into nitro with an Github account (I used a passkey)
• Log Out of Nitro
• Try to Log into nitro with another account (does not work)

What is expected?

That I have to login and authenticate again, being able to enter a new email and therefore account

What is actually happening?

The login authentication is bypassed and I am instantly logged into the previously logged in account

Relevant log output

Additional context

It is possible to switch accounts by clearing the cookie cache of the login window, which is extremely difficult since I am unable to see, and therefore clear, the github tokens, making it nearly impossible to switch accounts.

Hi @JonnyIV,

Thanks for reaching out!

You're right - this behavior is due to GitHub's authentication model rather than Nitro itself. GitHub only supports a single active session at a time, unlike services like Google, which allow multiple concurrent sign-ins.

To switch accounts, you’d need to:

1. Sign out of GitHub.
2. Sign out of Nitro
3. Sign in to Github via Nitro

Alternatively, using separate browser profiles or an incognito window can help manage multiple GitHub accounts more seamlessly.

Let us know if you need further clarification!

How do I sign out of GitHub when using your desktop app?
So far I have been unable to clear the Github session using the app, my current workaround is deleting the Nitro appdata directory.
