It depends on what kind of login you are talking about.

If you are dealing with a .htaccess basic login, and the authentication
realm (AuthName) is different, a browser can have lots of different
logins active (or not) on the same server. The browser uses the
authentication realm to determine which one to send.

Are the pages in different directories? While .htaccess can apply
different authentication to different pages, it's harder to do that
by accident in the same directory.

It's easy to have lots of different applications, each with their
own directory and different AuthName, and potentially different
password files, on the same server.
