I believe the solution is to give the account an alias.

company im working at currently uses Token Vending Machine.

pros: cannot get accounts mixed up.

cons: All sessions are actually 12hr sessions (ASIA not AKIA) and no access to perm keys for cli, security i suppose. Its not too bad though as TVM gives creds for various use cases.
