Has this been tested by someone who has two disparate accounts?

  • one account, email address A, used on sites B and C
  • second account, email address D, used on sites E and F only

Today I can click links or type addresses and am recognized as A on sites B and C and as D on sites E and F no problem. I can go back and forth between them in the same browser. There is talk that such accounts sometimes get automerged, but I've been doing this a long time and that hasn't happened. A good thing too, because I don't want to it to happen. My D account is separate for a reason and it would be a HUGE violation of my privacy (retropspectivelyretrospectively) for posts from that account to be relabelled with my A account (this one.)

So, has this scenario been tested and shown to work the same way today's login process does?
