Hi Tenno!
Good spot on the setting on the Account Management page. While the ability to swap profiles is available, I want to caution the use of the feature as we iron out a few rough edges and potential sticking points in the process.
I understand my warning may not dissuade everyone, so I’ll also post some instructions here to help you avoid the aforementioned rough edges as much as possible. Steps 3 and 4 are both vitally important, even if they don’t seem like they are. Follow them exactly. Use the Forums, not the main site for these steps.
- Go to https://warframe.com/user
- Select the platform profile you want to use for the Forums from under the ‘Forum Account Selection’ category. Confirm your choice.
- Go to https://forums.warframe.com and sign out. If you receive an error message, try to sign out again until you do not receive one.
- Go back to https://forums.warframe.com and ensure you are signed out. If you are not signed out, keep trying until you are.
- Sign back in.
You should see the profile icon and username for the platform you selected in the top right corner.
Please Note: There is a separate bug (also one of those rough edges) that can sometimes present you with a “Complete your Profile” page. If you receive this bug, follow these steps:
- Go to https://warframe.com/
- Sign out
- Go to https://forums.warframe.com/ - confirm you are logged out. If you skip this step, the process will not work.
- Sign back in
These steps should clear up the bug. If they do not, try switching to another platform profile and following the steps again.
