Linking multiple accounts together for verification purposes

Lots of people have two accounts, but basically nobody has two phone numbers (unless you're one of those guys who has dual sims in your phone--if so, kudos).

Some people even only have one email address, which is somewhat uncommon in these modern times, but still stands tried and true.

My suggestion here is to be able to request to link multiple Discord accounts together. They both fall under the same email and use the same phone number to verify access, but they both have different passwords for access (or have the same password but you could type "person@example.com#1" or "person@example.com#2").

This could allow for much easier access to having a personal account and a business account, or an online persona account and an irl friends account. Heck, even have all 4 or more.

Of course, with this linking feature, we should distinguish that DMing your own accounts will still be possible. You each get your own username and discriminator, which means that you can dm another linked account just the same as if you're dming someone else. This could allow for people with a brand to all sign in under one business email but all have different profiles linked.

Also, this could be especially helpful for large families. Parents want to monitor their child's Discord activity, even despite them being over 13, just because they're especially protective, so they make their child an alternate login to their account. Requesting a password reset for that profile would email the parent instead of the child, so it would be impossible for them to dodge a glance from their parents by changing their details.

I really think this seems like an especially good idea, but I'd like to see your thoughts in the comments. Tell me what you think!
