  Maybe you can try the following:

  You can edit your host file (/etc/hosts) for example:
  127.0.0.1. payload.dev
  Open your admin panel on http://payload.dev:3100 and point the frond end to http://localhost:3000.
  I think this way the cookies won't mix.

  Also, a solution is to open up an incognito window.

  And maybe good practice to handle the admin user like a normal user in the frond end, then there is no need to log in with two separate accounts.

  I will try changing my host file, thanks for suggesting it. My application users are in a separate collection from the users that have access to the CMS

  Ahh I feel you! Had that problem also a while back. So my solution was an incognito window.

  Maybe a future plugin idea: Payload Impersonation plugin

  Would love to have a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/
