XenCustomize Quick Account Switch 2.3.1

XenCustomize Quick Account Switch for XenForo 2​

Switch between your linked XenForo accounts quickly and safely, and land right back where you were.

XenCustomize Quick Account Switch adds a clean account switcher directly inside XenForo, making it easy for trusted users to move between their own linked accounts with a smooth same-page switch and reload workflow.

It is useful for administrators, moderators, support teams, test accounts, roleplay communities, marketplace sellers, staff users, and members who legitimately manage more than one account.

The addon is designed to feel native to XenForo, with visitor menu integration, account settings integration, permissions, phrases, overlays, and a simple account management page.

Key Benefits​

Switch accounts quickly from the visitor menu or account management page
Return to the same page after switching accounts
Manage linked accounts from a dedicated account page
Add existing accounts with a focused add-account overlay
See unread activity with conversation and alert counts for linked accounts
Permission controlled so only allowed users can add or manage account links
Feels native to XenForo with XenForo-style templates, phrases, permissions, and UI patterns

Features​

Visitor menu switcher
Adds a dedicated Switch accounts tab inside the XenForo visitor menu, placed next to the normal account tabs for quick access.

Fast same-page switching
Switching accounts reloads the current page after login changes, keeping the workflow quick and natural.

Linked account list
View all linked accounts with avatar, username, current account marker, unread conversation count, and alert count.

Current account indicator
The active account is clearly highlighted so users always know which account they are currently using.

Focused add-account overlay
Users can add another existing account through a clean addon-specific overlay that asks only for the details needed to link the account.

Account management page
A dedicated page under the XenForo account area lets users view linked accounts, switch to another account, add a new linked account, and remove linked accounts.

Remove linked accounts
Users with permission can remove linked accounts from their switcher using a clear remove action.

Conversation and alert counts
Each linked account can show unread conversation and alert counts, helping users choose the account they need before switching.

Permission based access
The addon includes a XenForo permission for controlling who can use and manage quick account switching.

Safe switch-back behavior
Already linked accounts can switch back through the existing account link, even when the switched-into account does not have permission to add new links.

Secure linking flow
Adding an account requires signing in to the intended existing account, with safeguards so only the correct account is linked.

Translation-ready
Public wording is phrase-based and ready for translation through XenForo's phrase system.
