No login required – how does ftrack connect know who I am?

[ftracker-Isa]

Ftrack Connect launches and immediately says I lack permissions.  It did not ask me to login with my ftrack account. 

Without logging in it knows my company
Yet the link knows what company I am connecting with.
This seems improperly insecure.  I should be logging in to ftrack here.  Are you using my browser?  I logged out of ftrack in the browser.  Nope, it knows what company.  How?  It should not know.  I am a freelancer.  What if three of my clients want to use ftrack and ftrack connect?  I should be logging in to each one of them explicitly.

And who am I?
The first time launch warning knows my company.  I assume it knows who I am, but it does not acknowledge me by name.  Once it knows my company and who I am, the FIRST feedback should be to acknowledge me and my company by name.

This is, IMO, a NRFFR issue *not ready for full release

It is COOL that ftrack knows something without my logging in.  So if you want to keep this, err, feature, please confirm who I am and what company ftrack (if I have multiple).  I believe I signed up for a trial account so I thought I had two user identities.  In that case it should let me know 

connecting as user at company
Or connect as
     user B at companyB
     user C at companyC

Apparently when I tested Connect 1.0 I logged in then and the APp knows who I am now.  Still raises the issue of being a freelancer working with multiple ftrack clients

I just hit the same question as I am testing Connect the first time. Wouldn't it be easy enough to store multiple config.json files in case of users needing to access multiple sites?

I.e. have a button in the UI to "switch user/site" then generate additional configs. In case there are more than one config on disk have a menu to choose which one to use on session open, otherwise behave as-is.

Just a first impression thought as I am very new to frack.
