Is it okay two create two accounts?

I just needed to know whether it's okay to keep two accounts. Someone said to me said we can have two accounts at once. But I just needed to make sure about that.
Why not? What if you have multiple personalities and one of them has a GM title?

Quoted from here:
lichess.org/terms-of-service

Multiple accounts - Having more than one account is not allowed, barring specific circumstances. For example, titled players are automatically entitled to one "public" account, for play in certain prize events hosted either by Lichess or another tournament organiser, and one "private" account, for casual play online whilst still displaying their titled status. Untitled players can create a second account for similar reasons, with some examples including having a private account to hide opening preparation, playing "blindfold" games, or playing games with any other self-imposed impairment. Creating an excessive number of accounts (typically any more than three) will generally not be allowed, regardless of reasons. Creating and closing multiple accounts will also be treated as contributing to this maximum number. As with all other rules, the specific circumstances where multiple accounts are allowed remain at Lichess' discretion.

it's definitely not ok if your main personality is a cheater
Lichess allows having multiple accounts, but only under specific circumstances. These include:

Titled players: They can have one "public" account for prize events and one "private" account for casual play.
Untitled players: They can create a second account to hide their opening preparation, play "blindfold" games, or play games with any other self-imposed impairment.
Creating an excessive number of accounts (typically more than three) is not allowed, regardless of the reasons. Creating and closing multiple accounts also counts towards this maximum number.

The final decision on whether or not multiple accounts are allowed is at Lichess' discretion.
You can have multiple accounts, but do not use them for cheating purposes or anything of the sort.

It's ok. You can use your 2nd account for variants playing, Berserk or even as a tournament account.

Read carefully lichess reserves the right to do as some unnamed person says.
And what you think is irrelevant.

My opinion is to use that account to develop my team. because the limit of the tournaments I can create from a one account is not enough. that's why.
