How can I switch my signed in user in Visual Studio 2013?
Error message: We were unable to establish the connection because it is configured for user olduser@old.com but you attempted to connect using user newuser@new.com. To connect as a different user perform a switch user operation. To connect with the configured identity just attempt the last operation again.
I want to switch the visual studio user but i got the following error.
I also tried to reset the user data like described here in this post but nothing changed. I also reinstalled visual studio and that didn't help
Any hint?
Allow users to switch users when signing in with a different user account
There is a comment about this under this answer, but I think it's important to list it here. If you want to preserve your settings, export them first because they will be lost.
From MSDN forums - since I had to hunt around far too much to find the solution to this:

- Close Visual Studio
- Start the Developer Command prompt installed with Visual Studio as an administrator.
- type ‘devenv /resetuserdata’ (‘wdexpress /resetuserdata’ for Express SKUs) (Note: if you have different versions of VS installed you will need to point directly to the VS versions devenv.exe mine was here -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe” /resetuserdata).
- Start Visual Studio Normally.
