FIGMA PLS FIX THIS SMALL BUG THAT CAUSE BIG PROBLEMS
Currently, Figma opens shared links using the account tied to the active Google profile in the browser without asking the user which Figma account to use. This can lead to unintended exposure of other client or corporate accounts — especially problematic for freelancers and multi-account users. A prompt to select or switch accounts before accessing the file would improve privacy and user control.
This becomes especially problematic when:
-
A user opens a file with the wrong account (e.g., a corporate or client account).
-
The file is view-only, and the user cannot remove their presence from the viewer list.
-
Other collaborators can then see email addresses or accounts that were never intended to be associated with that file.
This raises significant privacy concerns, especially for freelancers, consultants, and agency professionals juggling multiple client accounts.
Feature Suggestion:
Please consider implementing a prompt that allows users to select or switch the Figma account they'd like to use when opening a shared link, especially if they are logged into multiple Google/Figma accounts in the browser. This would prevent accidental access from unintended accounts and give users more control over their privacy.
