How do I quickly* switch between two Skype account...

I have a need to be able to quickly* switch between two Skype accounts on my Windows 7 desktop computer.
Both accounts have high-security difficult-to-remember and hard-to-type passwords.
Many products have a facility for doing this, remembering recent account/password combinations, or having linked accounts.
Does Skype have a way of doing this?
And if it doesn't, how do I request it get one be developed?
I use a password manager, LastPass, but of course Skype isn't a browser so it doesn't work with Lastpass.
* "Quickly switch" means without switching computer sign-on accounts and without re-typing the high-security difficult-to-remember and hard-to-type passwords many times per day.
I understand you're all volunteers.  Thank you very much for your efforts on this.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

This can be done by setting up an another Skype client in a separate directory and with a shortcut containing the extra /datapath, /removable and /secondary switches.

For your purpose you can make use of a copy of Skype.exe of the already installed Skype application.

  • How Do I Quickly Switch between Fusion and the Mac Desktops?

    How do I quickly switch between the two desktops? Also, is there any benefit to quitting Windows before I get out of Fusion?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Command Tab will switch between the two desktops. If you don't quit Windows beofre closing Fusion you are suspending Windows. IMHO this isn't as clean as closing it. I have found closing Windows before closing Fusion makes my system more stable.

  • How to create and switch between two different Mail accounts.

    Dear Apple,
    My wife and I share the same computer and the same single user account.
    Sharing contacts, calendar, music and pictures in fine, but we would like two separate Mail accounts.
    Is there a way to setup two Mail accounts with two separate mailboxes and switch between them manually?
    Regards,
    Stephan

    Ok, I'm confused.  If you have 2 accounts set up -- for example, "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" -- then you go to the "Accounts" tab on Mail->Preferences, and set them up, giving each one a name which distinguishes it from the other.  Maybe "AOL" and "gmail" or "foo" and "bar" or your first names, whatever.
    Then, if you select the line that says "Inbox" you will see mail from both accounts interleaved together.  If you fold down the triangle thingy next to the word "Inbox" then two lines will appear, one for each account.  If you click on one of those lines then your display will only show the mail from that mailbox.

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    Unfortunately you can't but you can request a refund and then credit the funds to your preferred account.

  • Transfer skype contacts between two skype accounts...

    Hi,
    How do I transfer all contacts I have in one skype account to another skype account?

    You can use the Send contacts option.

    Be just aware that the images shown in this FAQ are outdated (from older Skype versions). In the latest Skype versions the Send contacts option is available from the paperclip icon in the chat window.

  • How do you share music between two user accounts for multimedia purposes???

    I am working with iDVD and am running into a slight snafu. My girlfriend has most of the pictures in her iPhoto account, while I have most of the music in my iTunes account. (she works on maintaining our over flowing pictures, while I handle paying for all our music... works out nice. <wink>)
    Anyways, we were both working on a new photo DVD for family using iDVD and were frustrated that we could not pull in music from my iTunes account to use with her pictures in iDVD. I am uncertain if we are doing anything wrong and just do not know how to do it, or if it is not possible. We also have a few pictures on my iPhoto account we wanted to add to the DVD, but cannot access those either from her account while in iDVD.
    Is it possible to share this data back and forth without making two copies of all of it?
    Thanks for all your help!!

    Follow the steps after the section that says "If you have an earlier version of Mac OS X", Quintalis. It explains how to do it without the Fast User Switching/iTunes Sharing which is indeed limited only to playback.
    Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access. The most common such place is the Shared folder in the Users folder.

  • How do you share music between two iTunes accounts on one computer?

    My wife and I share a Windows 7 laptop computer.  We have separate Windows logins and separate iTunes accounts.  When we had separate computers we were able to use Home Sharing to share our music but this doesn't work when you have two accounts on the same computer.
    Is there a way to share our music libraries without wiping out what is already stored in our individual iTunes music libraries?

    Hi all,
      Here i am facing problem to switch between two query in web template by using one 'table' web item. is there any way to use hyperlink 'SAP_BW_URL' and we can switch to query. here i am using these HTML code..
    <table><tr><td class="SAPBEXBtnStdBorder" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td>
    <table><tr><td class="sapbexbtnstd" ><A href="<SAP_BW_URL cmd='reset_item' item='table_data' query_ID='ZSD_ZSD_M01_Q20' apply_cmd_on_target= "X">" >Switch to other query</A></td></tr></table>
    but i am not getting correct functionality.
    please help me to solve this problem.
    I know the best way to say thanks in SDN.
    thanks

    Kiran,
      Use the web api reset_data_provider as links or in select option in HTML.
       Onchange event of this select option should call JAVASCRIPT method and
       this in turn resets the current dataprovider to your concerned one.
       How to change graphs:
       The graph item has the default data provider:
       <object>
             <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
             <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
             <param name="NAME" value="CHART_1"/>
             <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_CHART"/>
             <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
             <param name="TMP_CHART_DATA_HANDLE" value="IIP_49MOXB0UVNOMM6JOZMZU7QO21"/>
             ITEM:            CHART_1
       </object>
      So if you change the DATAPROVIDER_1 using RESET_DATA_PROVIDER to your concerned DP, this changes chart as well !!
       Please use this method and refer to sample code for Onchange Event on SELECT OPTION:
      <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <script>
    function callDP() {
         if(document.forms[0].dp.value == "1") {
            //form your URL here..
           url = SAP_BW_URL_Get() + "&CMD=RESET_DATA_PROVIDER&DATA_PROVIDER_1=..&...";
            SAPBWOpenURL(url);
            //or docuemtn.location.href = url..
            //etc..
    </script>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <form>
    <select name="dp" onChange="javascript:callDP();">
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
    </select>
    </form>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    HOPE THIS HELPS !!!

    iTunes no longer works properly (aka at all) while using one of the user accounts set up on my iMac. It does, however, work when logging in under another user account on the same iMac. (if any of you can help me solve this issue that would be perfect). If there is no solution can anyone help with my request to share an iTunes library between two different accounts on one Mac.

    Copy it to his computer into his iTunes library and authorize his computer with the iTunes account used to purchase them..
    You cannot tranfser items from one iTunes account to another. Purchased items remain part of the iTunes account is was purchased with.
    iTunes account - used to purchase items
    iTunes library - where purchases (and CD RIPs) go on the computer

  • How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

    I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
    When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
    How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

    Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
    The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

  • In BADi , How to pass the values between two Method

    Hi Experts,
    We have two methods in BADis. How to pass the value  between two Methods. Can you guys explain me out with one example...
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sivakumar S

    Hi Sivakumar!
    Create a function group.
    Define global data (there is a similiar menu point to jump to the top include).
    Create one or two function modules, with which you can read and write the global data.
    In your BADI methods you can access the global data with help of your function modules. It will stay in memory through the whole transaction.
