I’m setting up a system with multiple AAD B2C tenants, so I get the joy of switching back and forth between the primary tenant and the B2C tenants frequently (at least until I can finish automating enough of the B2C provisioning bits).

I don’t yet have enough context to fully evaluate against cognito. It may end up being nice to have B2C as a first class AAD tenant, but until I get far enough along to realize those benefits, there will be a lot more cursing under my breath about the need for another layer of identity and the lack of control plane access through azure resource manager APIs/tooling.

I have multiple chrome profiles for this. However, despite switching from one subscription to another to access each different AAD tenant across multiple chrome profiles, it seems that Azure "remembers" the subscription you last accessed, across profiles. It's as if the last subscription you accessed is tagged to your Azure user server side rather being a blob of client side state. This is deeply annoying as well, especially when your sessions expire...
Firefox containers is the solution to this headache for almost every multi tenanted service. I used to have it installed only for those tasks when I was working in consultancy.
Firefox containers aren't a patch on Chrome profiles (which I did mention I was using). I'd switch to Firefox in a New York minute if they fixed the profile management UX (about:profiles).
