{% hint style="info" %}
The scanner app will log you out if your credentials are used on multiple devices.

**Possible Reasons for Logout:**

1. You are logged in on multiple devices. To stay logged in, use one login per device or create separate [manager](/getting-started/how-to-use-highlightcards/managers.md) accounts as needed.
2. You are using the app in incognito or private browsing mode.

For uninterrupted access, ensure you log in on a single device per account and avoid incognito/private mode.
