All Nostr key holder apps should support multiple identities!
Nostr has some strengths:
1. you can reuse your identity across apps
2. you can create multiple identities (for different use cases)
Identity creation is easy, but switching between identities should be easy. as well Therefore all Nostr key holders -- signers (Amber), extensions, bunkers -- should be multi-identity. Unfortunately that's not the case for most extensions.

At least with the nos2x extension for Firefox you can add multiple identities and select between them easily.
Oh, indeed, nice! I was not aware of that
It's good, I love it, but it could be even better.
I would love signers remember for each profile where they were used, and select them automatically when the site is visited.
So I wouldn't need to remember.
Nice idea, prob. could be done for browser extension signers, but less so for Amber-style remote signers. Unless there is a context string attached, which they can use.
I like that in the Amethyst+Amber setup Amethyst knows about all identities configured, and can switch inside the app.
In browser extension setup I first have to switch the user in the signer, and then go to the app (and reload, sometimes logout&login).
I like when after a user switch a web app shows the new name with the profile pic of the previous user :D
I use multi-account-containers extension (in Firefox), to be able to be logged in with different users in different tabs (in centralized services).
I discovered just today that the nos2x-fox extension cannot have different logged in users in different tabs, unfortunately. So I can't have the same nostr app open in two tabs with two users at the same time :(
