Abstract
Disclosed are various examples for multi-persona management on a client device. In one example, a client device can be configured to maintain multiple personas for a single user where each of the personas includes a unique configuration of the client device. A first one of the personas can include an enterprise persona while a second one of the personas can include a personal persona. Different methods of authentication can result in the client device toggling between the enterprise persona and the personal persona where the client device is managed by a device management service, for example, when the client device is configured in accordance with the enterprise persona.
