Claude Code Profile Manager Pro
Save several Claude Code accounts on your machine and switch between them in one click, without signing in again.
Unofficial community project. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
Features
- Multiple saved sessions. Each Claude account you sign in with is saved locally, and you can store as many as you like.
- One-click switching from the sidebar, the status bar, or
Claude Accounts: Switch Account… in the Command Palette.
- No extra sign-ins. Switching restores the session from when you last signed in to that account.
- Token refresh sync. When Claude Code refreshes the active account's tokens, the saved copy is updated too, so it stays valid.
- Local only. Tokens stay in your OS keychain through VS Code Secret Storage. The extension makes no network requests.
- Works with the Claude Code VS Code extension and the
claude CLI, because both read the same login.
Getting started
Sign in to Claude Code as usual (in the Claude Code extension, or by running claude in a terminal).
Open the Claude Accounts view in the Activity Bar and click Save Current Login.
Click Add Account (+). The extension:
- saves your current session,
- signs Claude Code out on this machine only,
- opens a terminal running
claude so you can sign in with the next account,
- saves that account as soon as sign-in finishes.
Repeat for every account. To switch, click → next to an account, or click the account name in the status bar to open the account picker:
Reload the window when prompted so the Claude Code extension picks up the new account. Restart any claude sessions already running in a terminal.
What the icons mean

| ○ empty circle |
Claude Code is signed in with an account that isn't saved yet |
Hover over an account to see its organization, plan, when you last used it, and how long its session stays valid.
⚠️ Don't use /logout on an account you have saved. It revokes the session on Anthropic's servers, and the saved copy stops working. Use Add Account instead.
How it works
Claude Code stores its active login in two places:
| What |
macOS |
Linux / Windows |
| OAuth tokens |
Keychain item Claude Code-credentials |
~/.claude/.credentials.json |
| Account identity |
oauthAccount in ~/.claude.json |
oauthAccount in ~/.claude.json |
Saving copies both into VS Code Secret Storage. Switching first saves the outgoing account's newest tokens, then writes the target account's tokens and oauthAccount back. Only the oauthAccount key in ~/.claude.json is changed. Everything else in that file is left as it was.
If CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is set, files are read from that directory instead.
When you'll need to sign in again
A saved session lasts as long as its refresh token does. You'll need to sign in to an account again if:
- its refresh token expires (the account shows ⚠ expired),
- you signed out of it, or it was revoked elsewhere (for example, by changing your password or using
/logout),
- the same account was used on another machine and its token was rotated there.
In each case, sign in again and click Save Current Login. The saved entry is updated in place.
Removing saved sessions
Right-click an account and choose Remove Saved Session, or run Claude Accounts: Remove All Saved Sessions… from the Command Palette or the view's … menu. Do this before uninstalling: VS Code doesn't let extensions delete their saved data on uninstall. Claude Code stays signed in to its current account either way.
