You and your friend (or second account) will need all of the required linked. You can use a tool like CCleaner to clear your sign in to link another account If you want to send them to yourself..
Requirements:
tutorial:
If it isn't working get your friend to download the steam app on their phone and link their steam to their shift account - this is mostly an Xbox issue it seems
If it loads infinitely it means you have added them but their account still isn't linked with PC yet
Requirements:
Shift account - https://shift.gearboxsoftware.com/associations (both players) ((if you both have PC version you have to add each other on PC))
Email (both players) [I put this here because you can use the same email on PSN for multiple accounts]
2k account - https://www.2k.com (both players)
Console account - https://www.playstation.com or https://www.xbox.com/en-US/ (one player)
Epic Games/Steam - https://www.epicgames.com/store or https://store.steampowered.com/ (one player)
