If you, like me, wear multiple hats (professional and pro-bono), and keep them separate with separate accounts, then you, like me, find it really annoying to switch between those hats in the dashboard. Please star my feature request.

Thanks.

Incognito window works well. I use Chrome for Login A, and Chromium for
Login b that works well too.

Yeah, that's mostly how I manage it. But really, why should some google interfaces (groups, for example) make it really easy to change which account you are using, and others (appengine, analytics) make you either log out or jump through hoops like using incognito windows? My guess is that when multiple sign-on happened, all the googly apps had to be updated to fully support it, and some teams haven't bothered yet.

Hoops = accounts tied to money.
No Hoops = accounts not tied to money.

(check adwords vs adsense) adwords where I can spend money makes me
authenticate every visit, adsense if I'm passively logged in just shows me
my earnings.
