How to Manage Multiple Pinterest Accounts Using One Username and Password
Pinterest has a feature that allows Pinners to log into multiple accounts. It is an easy to use feature for people who help manage other users’ Pinterest accounts. It is also very convenient for those Pinterest users who have multiple accounts as it is easy to switch between accounts without having to log into each one.
This is a useful feature for businesses and bloggers who have more than one website and thus more than one Pinterest business account. Pinterest for business users can have multiple Pinterest accounts but each must use its own email address. The websites associated with each business account must be verified to make them Pinterest business accounts. One of the best benefits of Pinterest for business is the free analytics.
Pinterest’s multiple login feature is not just for business accounts though, it can be used for personal accounts or any blend of personal and business logins. Business owners who have multiple business accounts and/or multiple personal accounts can quickly switch between them. You will only need one username and password to switch between accounts.
Can I Merge Pinterest Accounts?
It is not possible to merge personal and business Pinterest accounts in any combination. You can have as many accounts as needed, but you will need a unique email address for each new Pinterest account. If you don’t want to maintain multiple Pinterest accounts, then you can deactivate or delete the unwanted accounts. However, simply deactivating an account won’t allow the attached email to be used with another Pinterest account. The account must be permanently deleted to free up the email address. Instead of deleting the account, consider changing the username and cleaning up all the boards and Pins.
Pinterest users can have as many accounts as they wish. You are only limited by the number of email addresses as you need a unique email address to use for each account. For the purpose of switching between accounts from desktop Pinterest or the Pinterest mobile, you are limited in the number of accounts you can use from one login. That means that although you can open and possess unlimited Pinterest accounts, you can only have four logins on desktop Pinterest and only two on the mobile app at any one time.
Does This Only Work for Pinterest Business Accounts?
All Pinterest users, personal and business, can log into or create new accounts with this feature. Users can manage multiple personal and business accounts in any combination. Meaning, you can into both personal and Pinterest for business accounts from desktop Pinterest or the Pinterest mobile regardless of what type of accounts they are.
What is Pinterest?
Pinterest is an image-based social media channel with over 250 million monthly active users. Of these, 125 million are from the United States. There are over 175 billion Pinterest Pins (posts) and over three billion Pinterest boards.[1] Pinterest users are associated with a high shopping intention. They use the social media channel to organize ideas and plan future purchases. Pinterest users can create Pins and categorize them on boards. Popular topics on Pinterest include fashion, food, home décor, and beauty products. However, there are Pins and boards to meet all interests.
Can I Have Two Pinterest Accounts with the Same Email?
Pinterest does not allow users to set up more than one account using the same email. This is unlike Facebook that has the concept of a personal account which owns business pages created under it. With Facebook, you only use one email per personal account and no additional emails are needed for the business pages. With Pinterest, if you have two websites and want to create two Pinterest business accounts, then you will need to use two separate emails. Both business accounts are verified separately.
Can I Have a Personal and Business Pinterest Account?
You can have multiple personal Pinterest accounts and multiple Pinterest for business accounts. Just like users who want to have more than one business account, you will need a unique email address to use with each personal Pinterest account. However, unlike Facebook, you do not need a personal Pinterest account to have a Pinterest business account.

Now if I then go over to my AskCyberSecurity Pinterest, my PinTalk login is not available to AskCyberSecurity unless I add PinTalk there too.
