> Then there are other webapps which seem to implement their own login flow: they figure your session is expired, but don't allow you to switch accounts. The only way to use a different account from this flow is to sign out of the current one, which, of course, signs you out from everywhere.

Container tabs[1] are great for these. My work browser has a separate container for each of my frequently used Azure logins. When I need to use one of those pesky apps, I just open it in the respective container.

I used to use those, too, but I’ve started using a yubikey and azure doesn’t support those on Firefox on Linux. So now I’ve begrudgingly switched to chromium for my azure-related needs, with separate profiles, which is a PITA compared to containers.
