About This Feature
Overview
Multiple-Account Sign-In is an account management feature in WPS Office for Windows. It helps you sign in to multiple accounts at the same time and switch quickly between work and personal identities. After you switch accounts, the cloud documents and membership status shown in WPS follow the currently active account.
Core capabilities include:
- Multiple-account sign-in: If one phone number or email address is linked to multiple accounts, you can select the account you want after signing in.
- Add another account: While staying signed in, you can add a second or additional account in the same desktop app.
- Switch accounts: Open the avatar menu to view signed-in accounts and switch to the one you want to use.
This feature is useful when you separate work and personal content, share one device with other people, or need to check cloud files and benefits under different accounts.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports signing in to multiple accounts in one desktop client and switching from the avatar menu. Cloud documents and account-related benefits change with the active account. | Microsoft explains that an Office account is used for installation, activation, and cloud services, and Microsoft 365 apps do not support signing in with multiple user accounts from the same org or tenant at the same time. | Google Docs lets users add and switch between multiple Google accounts, and the selected account opens in a new window in the browser flow. | Notion supports being logged in with multiple accounts at the same time and lets users add another account from the workspace switcher. | Adobe Acrobat Sign identifies available sign-in methods by email address, and users with multiple Adobe profiles must choose the profile that is enabled for Acrobat Sign. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Keep multiple signed-in accounts in one Windows client. Distinct: After switching, you can directly view the cloud documents and account status tied to that account. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on account ownership, activation, and service access, and same-tenant multi-user sign-in is restricted. | Compared with WPS: Google supports account switching, but the browser flow typically opens the selected account in a new window. | Compared with WPS: Notion emphasizes account and workspace management together, which is useful for workspace-based collaboration. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on authentication and profile selection than on switching document spaces for multiple signed-in accounts in one office client. |
