Why it's useful

By checking her connected devices, Léa sees "Browser", "Browser" and "Browser extension". She renames them "Office laptop", "Home PC" and "Office extension". The day an unknown device requests her approval, she will spot it immediately.

Your account is used from multiple devices: the VaultysID of your phone, your browsers, the extension, and even Windows Hello. Monitoring them means ensuring that no one else is logging in as you.

caution

Only approve a device if you initiated the request. If an unknown device appears, do not approve it and notify your administrator.

Check Your Knowledge

1An unknown device is waiting for your approval. What do you do?

2Why can't you delete your default device?

3You uncheck both channels of a notification. What happens to the event?

4Why are some notifications' 'In the app' checkbox locked?

Key Takeaways

• Give your devices meaningful names: the history becomes readable.
• Never approve a device that you did not initiate.
• Notifications are set event by event, by email and/or app.
