Atlassian is not the only one who wrecked login by implementing SSO across all their instances.

I really don’t recommend using in-app dual logins (for example Gmail’s dual login), and stick to using separate Chrome profiles or Firefox profiles, so that none of the cookies are shared. Even with that, I’ve had surprises with my mobile phone number being the only shared information between two Google Ads accounts, and Google mixing my data, but avoiding sharing cookies is really important.

That is also what I recommend my employees. « You can use Facebook or Youtube at work, but not in the same Chrome profile. »

You don't need separate Firefox profiles for that, you can use Firefox containers.

Firefox Containers are awful.

Only firefox profiles can give you true separation.

It would have been better if Mozilla had added a better interface to profiles.

True, but by using profiles you don't need any extra extensions, it comes built-in in both Chrome and Firefox, you can simply start it with providing the `--profile <path>` flag. Correct me if I'm wrong, but some IT environments also lock down installing extensions from addons.mozilla.org, so the profiles tip would be applicable to more people.

We had the same with Amazon, we created a new Amazon account but shared the telephone number. Support sent emails to the first account concerning the second account.

I have stopped giving out phone numbers to services. I can get throwaway email addresses (eg anonaddy.me, which is great) but burner numbers incur a significant time and cost, so I just don’t use services that demand one now.

Google Accounts fall into this category these days. Possible I’ll deprecate my use of those, as I don’t use gmail or drive any longer.

I had to use GDPR to force them to delete one of my accounts because my account got stuck in the registration where I could not complete the registration and could not delete the registration either. First time I used GDPR for anything. Support did not understand the situation, I waked through them the issue with screenshots, nothing.
