Using multiple ESO accounts on a steam copy of the game?

Quick question- I'm considering the purchase of a second eso account given that the game is on sale right now.
However, my main ESO account is on steam, and logged into through steam, therefore my copy of the game is a steam copy that logs me in automatically using my steam ID.
Is there a way to use my steam copy of the game to log in on a newly paid, non-steam ESO account (bypassing steam by using the exe maybe?) so that I don't have to download two copies of the game onto my machine?
Thanks to any who can help.

✭✭✭✭✭So the launcher shortcut on the desktop launches Steam auto login which can only be set with one account. If you pin the launcher to the taskbar, at least for me, it launches the game itself bypassing Steam and I can login manually that way.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Even with what @phaneub17_ESO has said, it would be best to bypass Steam altogether if you are getting a second copy. That eliminates any chance something with Steam could change how things are done and eliminate being locked out of ESO completely when the Steam link to ESO fails as it has happened many times for hours at a time.
It is just best to avoid that third party when it can be bypassed as history here has shown.

ZOS_IcymodGreetings,
After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.
Thank you for your understanding.

✭✭I regularly use the steam executable to log into my second eso account. I can share the steam executable path on my machine if that's helpful.0 -

✭✭✭✭@Amottica never had a problem with steam in the last 4 years so I have no plans to buy a complete second copy, just the basegame. Thank you for the info though.
@kringled_1 that would be super helpful, please do! Thank youLegends never die
