Pretty much the title. I have two accounts, and I can't seem to find a way to download from the other once I've logged in to one. I can't find a way to log out or change the account in the app either.

Unfortunately, you can't view another person's submissions inbox, so some account switching is inevitable in your use case.

I have not considered account switching to be something you'd ever want to do frequently, so right now it's kinda hard to do. There are some plans for improving the authorization flow that will also make switching easier, I will update this issue when it's ready.

What's possible to do as of v.0.5.3.x:

To log out manually you can launch Internet Explorer (not Edge, if you have no shortcuts to it use Launch (win+R) -> iexplore.exe ), press Ctrl+Shift+Delete and clear the cookies. The next time you launch furdown it should ask for your credentials again.

You can also set up two batch scripts for launching with different credentials, having extracted the "User-Agent" and "Cookies" values from some browsers where you are logged in already. The scripts may look something like:

@echo off
SET FURDOWN_USERAGENT=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:****) ******** Firefox/85.0
SET FURDOWN_COOKIES=b=****************; a=*****************; sz=**********; ************
furdown.exe

But there is a fatal flaw: when someone decides to DDoS the site once again and the aggressive Cloudflare protection kicks in, the cookies will have an extremely short lifetime - far too short to be practical.
