-## About management of multiple accounts
-
-In some cases, you may need to use multiple accounts on {% data variables.product.github %}. For example, you may have a personal account for open source contributions, and your employer may also create and manage a user account for you within an enterprise.
-
-You cannot use a {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_user %} to contribute to public projects on {% data variables.location.product_location %}, so you must contribute to those resources using your personal account. For more information, see [About {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %}]({% ifversion fpt %}/enterprise-cloud@latest{% endif %}/admin/identity-and-access-management/using-enterprise-managed-users-for-iam/about-enterprise-managed-users#abilities-and-restrictions-of-managed-user-accounts){% ifversion fpt %} in the {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} documentation.{% elsif ghec %}.{% endif %}
-
-If you need to use multiple accounts, you can stay signed in to your accounts and switch between them. For example, switching between a personal account and a service account. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/switching-between-accounts).
-
-If you want to use one workstation to contribute from both accounts, you can simplify contribution with Git by using a mixture of protocols to access repository data, or by using credentials on a per-repository basis.
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> Be mindful when you use one workstation to contribute to two separate accounts. Management of two or more accounts can increase the chance of mistakenly leaking internal code to the public.
-
-If you aren't required to use a {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_user %}, {% data variables.product.company_short %} recommends that you use one personal account for all your work on {% data variables.location.product_location %}. With a single personal account, you can contribute to a combination of personal, open source, or professional projects using one identity. Other people can invite the account to contribute to both individual repositories and repositories owned by an organization, and the account can be a member of multiple organizations or enterprises.
-
-## Contributing to two accounts using HTTPS and SSH
-
-If you contribute with two accounts from one workstation, you can access repositories by using a different protocol and credentials for each account.
-
-Git can use either the HTTPS or SSH protocol to access and update data in repositories on {% data variables.product.github %}. The protocol you use to clone a repository determines which credentials your workstation will use to authenticate when you access the repository. With this approach to account management, you store the credentials for one account to use for HTTPS connections and upload an SSH key to the other account to use for SSH connections.
-
-You can find both the HTTPS or an SSH URLs for cloning a repository on the repository's page. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/cloning-a-repository).
-
-For more information about the use of SSH to access repositories, see [AUTOTITLE](/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh).
-
 ## Contributing to multiple accounts using HTTPS and {% data variables.product.pat_generic %}s
 
 Alternatively, if you want to use the HTTPS protocol for both accounts, you can use different {% data variables.product.pat_generic %}s for each account by configuring Git to store different credentials for each repository.

-## About unlinking your email address
-
-Since an email address can only be associated with a single {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} account, when you've lost your 2FA credentials and are unable to recover access, unlinking your email address from the locked account allows you to link that email address to a new or existing account. Additionally, linking a previously used commit email address to a new account will connect your commit history to that account. Unless you have chosen to keep your email address private, your account's commit email address is the same as your account's primary email address. See [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-email-preferences/setting-your-commit-email-address).
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The {% data variables.product.github %}-provided `noreply` email address cannot be unlinked from an account. Commits authored with a `noreply` address cannot be reconnected to a different account.
-
-Be aware that nothing else associated with your 2FA locked account, including your repositories, permissions, and profile, will transfer to your new account.
-
-## Unlinking your email address
-
-Unlinking email addresses is only available for accounts with 2FA enabled. If you do not have 2FA enabled, you can sign in and remove your email address from your account settings.
-
-Educational benefits cannot be transferred after an email address is unlinked and associated with a different account. To keep these benefits, you must continue using the original account that was used to apply.
-
 > [!WARNING]
 > Following these steps will not disable 2FA or provide access to a locked account, but will instead unlink the associated email address so it may be used for a different account. If you cannot regain access to the 2FA locked account, these steps will permanently break the link between the account and the linked email address. Before continuing, be sure you have lost all access to your account. See [AUTOTITLE](/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/recovering-your-account-if-you-lose-your-2fa-credentials).
