Are multiple accounts permitted?

The rules around multiple accounts have not changed, and staff guidance still stands to the best of my knowledge. My quote from the original thread referenced (which quotes staff) is the same as I quoted in the thread this was split off of:

The previous thread answers the question pretty well. There staff said:

@tiwane

Yeah, please use only one account for your activity on iNat. Some exceptions are class accounts for instructors to use with students, and accounts for organizations (eg parks, etc). For the latter I highly recommend using an organization email account (eg info@organization.org) rather than a personal work account. There have been so many times when someone creates an organizational account using their personal work address, then leaves the organization, and no one can access it later.

I don’t believe anything has changed in the past year with this guidance.
