    Hi,
    When testing locally how can I get different player IDs on the same computer without making a build?
    Signing out and signing back in with a different method still gives the same player ID.

    https://docs.unity.com/authentication/ProfileManagement.html
    Using authentication profile management on the other editor gives this error on the main editor:

    Unity.Services.Authentication.AuthenticationException: Invalid state for this operation. The player is already signed in.

    But interestingly it continues to let me use Lobby services afterwards

    SwitchProfile will throw an Invalid State error if you're trying to switch profiles while the current profile is signed in. Unity Authentication doesn't support multiple profiles signed in at the same time, so you should sign-out prior to using SwitchProfile and then sign-in again.

    I signed out on the other editor before switching profiles but the main editor is the one that gets the error messages.
    It still works and I can test this way (with 2 editors on the same machine) I'm just reporting what happens.
