They are not even close to the same thing. With the link you posted you need to know both users passwords to switch.

You may want to install it first to try.

You don't need the know the password if you do the linking via the Admin CP.

I see both as serving different purposes; this one is good if you want to switch as any user, but dont do this switching very often. The other is good if you regularly switch between a few users (as in my case when I stumbled on this mod).

You don't need the password at all anywhere with this mod. The other one you do.

If you are an adminstrator, as with this mod, you don't need the password at all. I suggest you go install that mod and try it for yourself before commenting further.

I was going by this: "as long as these users know the passwords for both accounts".

Perhaps you should read the whole sentence rather than just part of it:

Accounts can be linked by administrators via admincp or by users via usercp as long as these users know the passwords for both accounts.

To help you, I've broken it down since apparently you have difficulties in understanding it:

Accounts can be linked

1. by administrators via admincp; or

2. by users via usercp as long as these users know the passwords for both accounts.

This mod doesn't even allow users to do linking, so why are you talking about the user bit?

Seriously, before you make a further fool of yourself, please install BOTH mods and try it out; especially if you are not able to read the explanatory text for the mods in FULL.

I digress. This "fool" is not interested in the other mod.

Good job at finally learning how to read.

And congratulations of your impersonation of a total jerk. You hit it right on.
