How to Keep Several Pinterest Accounts Apart on One PC With Separate Browser Profiles

How do you keep several Pinterest accounts apart on one PC? #

Give each account its own browser profile and log in to only that account there. Pinterest's own switcher, according to its Help Center (read 3 October 2026), works only while you stay in one browser session. A profile has its own cookies, so each profile is its own session and the accounts stop sharing one. New to the term? Start with what a browser profile is.

What does each approach keep apart? #

Microsoft says each Edge profile has its own browsing history, bookmarks and other data, so the Edge steps below follow the same pattern as Chrome's.

How do you set up one profile per account? #

Chrome

1. Select Profile, then Add Chrome profile.
2. Choose a name, a photo and a colour scheme.
3. In that window, open pinterest.com and log in to one account only.
4. Repeat for the next account. Do not also use Add Pinterest account inside the same profile.

Chrome says that if you sign in with a Google Account in a profile, bookmarks, passwords and settings are saved to that account and can be used on other devices. For client work, decide whose account that should be.

Edge

1. Select the profile icon at the top right, then Manage profile settings, then Add profile.
2. Choose Add, then either sign in to sync your data or create the profile without data.
3. Open pinterest.com in that profile and log in to one account.

Firefox

Install Mozilla's Multi-Account Containers add-on, make one colour-coded container per account, and open pinterest.com in that container's tab. The add-on says cookies from one container are not available to the others.

How should you name, hand over and back up profiles? #

Naming. Put the brand first, then the Pinterest handle, then the owner, for example Acme Home | acmehome | Lan, and give every client a colour. Names such as Profile 3 are how the wrong account gets opened.

Hand-over. Pinterest's Community Guidelines tell users not to share their password or let anyone access their account, and its Terms say to keep the password secure and not disclose it. So hand over access, not logins. For a brand account, add the person in Business Manager and let them use their own login in their own profile; the business guide has the steps. When someone leaves, remove them there and delete their profile. In Chrome: Profile, Manage Chrome profiles, select it, More, Delete. Chrome warns that bookmarks, history, passwords and other settings are erased.

Backups. Three things differ:

• The inventory. Keep a list of each account's email, owner and two-factor phone number in your team's password manager. Pinterest says a phone number can be linked to only one account.
• The profile folder. Chromium's documentation says the user data directory holds history, bookmarks and cookies, with each profile in a subfolder. On Windows the default is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data. Cookies make a copy as sensitive as a password.
• The account itself. Pins and boards live with Pinterest. Pinterest says Pins cannot be moved between accounts in bulk, so keep access to each original account and its email.

Chrome also notes that anyone with access to your device can open another profile on it. A profile is organisation, not a lock.

When do ordinary profiles stop being enough? #

None of this is a promise about how Pinterest treats an account; these are conveniences, not protections.

If a profile misbehaves #

• You are logged out whenever the browser closes. Pinterest's cookie page says essential cookies let you log in and out, so check whether the browser clears cookies on exit.
• The wrong account is in a profile. Log out, log in to the right account, rename the profile, and clear cache and cookies in that profile if Pinterest keeps signing you in to the wrong one.
• An email mentions a login from an unrecognised computer or location. Pinterest's steps are Lock my account in the email and a password reset. Read the sign-in checks guide.
• You are unsure which accounts are connected. See the switching guide.

Where ADSSPEED fits #

Ordinary profiles are a good start. ADSSPEED is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that manages many browser profiles: each keeps its own cookies, local data and browser settings, a proxy can be set per profile and assigned to many profiles in bulk, and profiles can be opened, stopped and organised in bulk. Profile data stays on your own computer, and Android phone profiles, each with its own device configuration, run mobile apps on a PC. Setup is in installing ADSSPEED on Windows. ADSSPEED is not affiliated with Pinterest.
