A Windows command file to switch between bethesda.net main and mule logon accounts for Fallout 76 on Steam ready for bethesda.net launcher demise.
There is no need to wait for the Bethesda "link accounts" function it just works AS-IS RIGHT NOW if you already have Fallout 76 installed through Steam and multiple Bethesda.net accounts associated with game licenses.
This is a Windows INI file utility, it does not modify the Fallout 76 installation.
Download, unzip and save Fallout76SwitchSteamAccounts.bat (or whatever you rename it to) wherever you want to run it from.
Configuration instructions are in the file:

If you dont understand what this stuff means or are unable to follow the instructions, this solution is probably not for you.
If you have multiple Steam installations, or multiple Fallout 76 installations in Steam, or some other non standard buggery you will need to figure that sh1t out yourself.
When Fallout 76 first launches from Steam after an account switch sometimes a [Logon] or [ Unable to Load Playlists ] dialog may pop, give it a second and the full PLAY ... CHARACTER menu will build.
