Every single thing that I ever log into that does any kind of risk-based authentication triggers on me almost every single time (well over 90% of the time). Even things like Zoom installed locally on my laptop when I had to switch accounts for a couple of hours last week, when I went to switch back to my main account insisted on doing a code because I was allegedly logging in from a new location or device. (Aside: I have no idea why they present “switch accounts” and “sign out” as though they were different things. You’re fully signed out either way and have to sign in again.)

My only sins are having a dynamic IPv4 address, using Linux, using Firefox, and for some of them using Private Browsing windows for temporary sessions.

The whole approach is manifestly bankrupt.

On Zoom at least, switching accounts and signing out/in seems to do something different. If I’m logged in with Google SSO, and I want to switch to a different Google SSO, clicking “Switch Account” and then selecting Google doesn’t let me change which account is selected. Actually signing out then back in does let me select a different Google account.

Possibly then it only differs for SSO. I haven’t used it with SSO.

Cynically, I want to say that you are being punished for making it harder for them to monetize selling your data.
