If you have multiple Pinterest accounts, you can easily link them together so you can switch between the two as needed. We'll show you how to link multiple Pinterest accounts together, as well as how to connect any Pinterest account to a social media login (such as Google) so you can sign using that account rather than your Pinterest username and password .
Steps
