 * I work as a website developer and was in the process of installing Jetpack for
   this customer. I was getting ready to set up the account when Jetpack ignored
   it and used the first account it could find.
 * Let’s say was working on **domain_A.com** installing Jetpack
 * The other day I was working on **domain_B.com** a few days ago.
 * As Jetpack was doing its think installing on domain_A.com I reached over for 
   pen to write down a note. When I looked back I saw Jetpack logging into the domain_A.
   com Jetpack application using the credentials from domain_B.com. There was no
   prompt warning asking me if the credentials were correct, no prompt for username/
   password. What I saw was Jetpack saying…
 * “logging in as domain_B.com”
 * I never gave Jetpack permission to do this!!!
    Just because there was a Jetpack
   account login somewhere in system memory, Jetpack decided on its own to use it,
   without permission.
 * **THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED!!!**

 * Oh! And just to make matters worse. When I log out of Jetpack, using the wrong
   domain, it **DOES NOT** prompt me or give me the option to create a new account.
   It returns an error that something went wrong and gets stuck in a look or tells
   me to contact support. That is what I am doing!!
