Whatever the identity tuple is with Amazon it's deeply confusing. I think it's possible to have: frobiz@example.com password A frobiz@example.com password B Work, and be two different accounts. It's scary.
You don't have an AWS account. You have an IAM identity and credentials for an AWS account. Except for the root account where what you described is never the case.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's also possible to get your personal GMail account banned after someone at your company breaks Google ToS: https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/8kvias/tifu_by_gettin... For the few Google products we use at work, like Calendar, we make sure that people do not register with their existing personal accounts but use their work email address.
Isn't having more than one Gmail account a violation too?

Because they're namespaced by which AWS account you connect to, same as Slack and many more enterprise products. You don't have an AWS account. You have an IAM identity and credentials for an AWS account. Except for the root account where what you described is never the case.
I'm reluctant to delete duplicate Amazon entries in 1password and bitwarden in case I still need them, for some distinct IAM.

It's good that every service has separate credentials. For a counterexample, consider Apple and how they try to restrict you to a single Apple ID. They want everything to be tied to a single person. Every service you use is tied to your Apple ID. It just doesn't match the way that people use computers. For example, I get my computer games and business software billed to the same card, and there's no easy way to chang…
My solution: use Linux :)
Some of these are legitimate grievances but it seems quite reasonable to have separate accounts for work and play. What I do despise is that my Amazon.com credentials are the same as my Amazon AWS root account credentials. They aren't equals. The services share the name of a rainforest and a very rich CEO but that's about where the similarities end for my part. I'd rather not have to plug in my AWS root account crede…
> I'd rather not have to plug in my AWS root account credentials when I get the urge to impulse buy a robotic vacuum cleaner. Clearly the solution to this is for the retail site to support IAM roles.
Madness, if you get blocked by aws in one of their accounts. Wave good by to all the other accounts

One possible explanation is that the exit IP for the company has had malware hosted on it, so that IP is getting banned from Google services. If they go home or turn off WiFi on their phones it will probably work.
Depending on the service, I probably do not want to be ME + sub-identities. While a good sleuth (or algorithm) with enough data can probably connect me to all the different services I use/manage, I don't necessarily want that information to be public. And if it exists in a database somewhere, it will likely eventually become public.
