Streamlink Twitch GUI uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol for authenticating on Twitch. The reason for being signed in automatically is the Twitch.tv website where you're authorizing the application connection. It automatically uses the account you're already signed in with your browser's cookies. If you log out on the Twitch.tv website, you'll be prompted again when using Streamlink Twitch GUI to log in.

There's a force_verify parameter though, that forces the user to re-authenticate the application with their account. And while being asked to re-authenticate the user has the option to switch accounts, which means that adding this parameter fixes the issue.
