  • Setting up more than one online user profile on a single mobile/device

    More than one 365 online profile can be accessed on an individual mobile phone/device. When opening the app, a user can log in by tapping on the specific user ID for the profile they want access to. They will then need to complete logging in using 3 digits of the 6-digit PIN for that profile.

    The app will always use the first user ID that was added to the device as your primary profile. To change this, you will need to reinstall the app.

    Important: If there is more than one 365 profile registered on your mobile phone, you cannot use biometric login. The feature is disabled as a security precaution, to protect customers’ profiles and accounts.
