Linked Devices
When you sign up for Diode Drive, you create an Account Name. The Account Name is globally unique and can be used by others to invite you to collaborate in a Zone or to start a chat with you (if you have a shared Zone).
As of Diode Drive 1.4.0 (January 2022), your Account can be used on multiple devices (e.g. phone and computer). Devices that you use for your Account are called “Linked Devices.”
How To Add and Manage:
Go to Profile Settings
To add and manage Linked Devices for your Account, go to your Profile from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of your App under your username. Once in Profile, you can click into your “Linked Devices” settings and add or delete a device by using the plus or trash icon in the upper right hand corner.
Add Device
To add a device, download the Diode app on the new device, provide your username, and select “log in.” On your original device, click the plus icon in your “Linked Devices” settings and use the code provided for your new device. Wait until your original device has you click “confirm,” and then allow the new device to sync your existing Zones, chats, etc..
Delete Device
To delete a device, simply select the device you wish to delete, press the trash icon, and confirm.
Backup Codes
The very first device you sign up with is your master device - the backup code from that device can be used to restore full access to your account should you lose access. Other Linked Devices will show “Please create a backup from your master device.”
Permissions
All Linked Devices have full permissions for your Account.
Device-Specific Settings
Each Linked Device has some device-specific settings:
- Local Settings for the App (Profile Drop-Down -> Local Settings)
- Default location for new Zones
- Local Settings for a Zone (Zone -> Settings -> Local Settings)
- Location on disk
