Summary of the new feature / enhancement

As a user I want the option to specify the email address of the account I wish to log in with, as an alternative to picking an account from a list. This would give me the option of logging in with the personal account I created for PowerShell Gallery, rather than my work account or the personal account I use for other things.

At the moment I cannot find a way to log in with the appropriate account. I suspect that if I log out of my other accounts, or use a different browser, I would be able to log in. However, these are workarounds to a problem that should not exist. Other Microsoft login screens provide the option of logging in with a different account. Why does the PowerShell Gallery login screen not provide that option?

NOTE: Security advice is to use different accounts for different websites, rather than sharing the same account across multiple websites. Microsoft should make it easy to follow such security guidelines by not assuming that the Microsoft accounts people use for one website are used across all websites.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
