Accounts & backups

Switch accounts

Switch the active identity before using a different Nostr account. Websites can keep their own signed-in session, so changing the extension’s selection may also require reconnecting there.

Before you start

  • Add or import each identity you want to switch between.
  • Check the account name or public key you intend to use.

Steps

  1. Unlock the extension and open the account selector at the top of the popup.
  2. Select the identity you want to use and check its displayed name and public key.
  3. Return to the website. If it still shows the old identity, sign out there and reconnect using the extension.

Check the result

  • Check the active account again before approving a new request.
  • If the website still displays a different profile, verify its own signed-in account rather than assuming the extension selection changed that session.
