Browser extensions really need to start allowing multiple accounts. It has been 2 years already... Let's go... No one is using just one account in Nostr.
Discussion
To get around this you can create multiple Chrome profiles to have a separate one for each npub, but yeah. This should happen.
Yes pls, very annoying UX
I use different VMs for different personas. Super annoying to have to consider upgrading my hardware just to handle more personas.
I’m not the most technically savvy person. Having multiple NOSTR accounts seems like a lot of work. What are the advantages which makes it worth it?
Audiences hate when you mix topics. Folks that like me because I talk about Nostr wouldn't like me talking about the Red Sox in the same feed. One account just doesn't make any sense.
All the people too cool for sports pop out of nowhere 
Sure...why not? I'm more interested in the person.
The person is the content, not the other way around.
We all have interests, and those outside interests are what make relationships deeper.
Having two accounts seems counterproductive...
One feed* just doesn't make any sense
Look at reddit- the most common alternate accounts are either throwaways or novelty accounts. Nostr has plenty of both. These don't serve the purpose of splitting interests as much as specifying a "role" or "personality," or maintaining privacy. Look at nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75sprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0y8qdrm - He has two accounts. One is personal about climbing and the other represents the "developer/influencer Pablo".
Is this beneficial for him as a user? Probably
Is it ideal? I would argue not for me, and likely not for others. Can't speak for Pablo but I think Nostr can offer more flexibility that would defeat this inherently bastardized, single-feed structure.
Nostr says "discovery is a manual feature" and to that I say "feeds are the garbage can for discovery". I leverage my feed to discover often, so it is not inherently a problem of feeds themselves. The problem is single-feed silos.
So we can manually segregate feeds with a tool like Listr which integrates with Amethyst.
But this process is pretty much the same as it was 3 years ago. Unless another client is offering better list curation. I haven't seen anything change in this regard. There is a bounty out for CRUD lists in amethyst and I really hope someone can pick up that lead. Not here to complain, just my two cents.
The resolution would be native list management in my eyes. Splitting the user between tools does not feel intuitive with an app like amethyst. Just about everything else is miles ahead.
Our feeds should be able to designate their own relays in my opinion. Let us filter by relay first, then by users, then by content.

Yes also works with Alby by having multiple accounts in Alby and each with a specific npub
Would love to see more and more development for multiple key management
🙌
Lo hacen y tengo más de un perfil. Por lo menos, un par más: economía/negocios y literatura 😉
🎯
Also, Damus.
Also if one " user" has multiple NPUBs there should be a way to distinguish doing so that you shouldnt have to pay for every single account to broadcast to the paid relays. .... thoughts?
I think it is fine to pay per account. Since for every person that does not know those accounts still seem as if they are independent.
Most people only use one account.
NostrKeyring already solves this issue but needs someone to contribute to implement sign event. If you implement it, ill pay you a lot of sats. The repo is on to website.
If it’s too easy, I will be accidentally shitposting from my Satoshi account.

alby gave me this option in the past
I use nos2x in firefox with 2 nostr profiles. Works perfectly fine.
Unfortunately the nos2x for chromium it doesn't allow it.
Nostr writer way ahead of ya 😁
WTF??!
Am I the only one using one account?
Easy, use Firefox with the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension.
I'm using one account 😏
i though alby already did this
multiple accounts is a dev thing lol
You can run multiple profiles with firefox. That has been a thing for I think 20 years or more. You may have to launch it with a command-line parameter, but you used to be able to have it ask which profile you want as it starts up.
I feel weird now because I only have one nostr profile. Am I the only one? I'm not even sure what I'd do with another profile.
It's because your company hasn't given you a new nsec yet...
I am.
huch?! in alby you have multiple since day one. what are you missing?
there is a bit of a storage limit by the browser above 5ish but that should be mostly not a problem, is it?
Do I need to create a separate wallet/new Alby account to have a separate nostr account? I am very confused about this.
Anyway, the switch should be easier. The extension icon should always show the active npub. It is quite hard to know which account I am giving permissions to.
Yes, I think they're tied to separate Lightning accounts, but anything else would make it even more confusing I guess.
nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x By the way, there's a small UI bug: when you switch accounts, it doesn't immediately update the npub that you can copy from the nostr icon...
I think the main confusion is because the extension always needs some sort of lightning "wallet" and that then can have a local key that is used for nostr. (and keys are only locally stored and a wallet is always some remote wallet)
this means you can add the same wallet to the extension and use this same wallet with different keys.
you don't need to create a different alby accounts or different wallets.
nostr:npub1raustrrh5gjwt03zdj8syn9vmt2dwsv9t467m8c3gua636uxu89svgdees I will pass it on.
Man... adding the same account multiple times is so weird. The account is added, but lots of error messages show up and there is no visual confirmation that you are adding the same stuff again. You just see a copy if the account in the menu.
Also, it's very confusing when Alby creates a random nsec when loading an existing account. I would leave it empty.
yeah, that automatic account creation feature i'm not a fan either, it's confusing at first when you reinstall
Thanks for reporting, will be fixed in the next release of the extension!
No, you can connect the same one again and just set different Nostr keys for it in the settings
I don't even have the mental energy to be decently active on this account, let alone having more than one
