What is device management and how to use it

Device management lets you view the devices that have access to your Paribu account in a single window and log out from any device you choose. The description on the screen states this as well: "Keep access to your account secure by checking the most recently signed-in devices and sign-in details."

How can I manage my devices?

To manage your devices on Paribu, open the Manage devices window from the Security settings page. The devices that have access to your account are listed with their names and sign-in times. You can log out from a device you do not recognize or no longer use, and you can use the Log out from all devices button to close them all at once.

Open the manage devices window

1. Open Paribu.com and hover over the profile icon at the top right
2. Click Security settings in the menu that appears
3. In the Other security settings section, click Manage devices
4. The devices that have access to your account are listed in the window that opens

Log out from a single device

1. Find the device you want to log out from in the list
2. Click the log-out option next to the device
3. In the confirmation window that opens, confirm the question Are you sure you want to log out? — the window also shows which device will be logged out
4. Once the action is complete, the Paribu session on that device is closed

Log out from all devices

1. Click the Log out from all devices button at the bottom of the window
2. In the confirmation window that opens, confirm the question Are you sure you want to log out from all devices?; the window states "You will be logged out from all registered devices."
3. Once the action is complete, sessions on all devices linked to your account, including the device you are using, are closed

What information is shown in the device list?

The window shows the name of each device and its Time information. Time corresponds to the moment the device was registered to your account; it appears in the list as the device registration time.

Note: When you see a device you do not recognize, log out from that device and change your password. All your sessions are closed after a password change, which brings access to your account back to a single point.

What happens when I log out from all devices?

When you use the Log out from all devices button, sessions on all devices linked to your account, including the device you are currently using, are closed. To access your account again, you need to sign in with your password.

Warning: If you suspect your account has been compromised, it is recommended to change your password and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) after logging out from all devices.

Frequently asked questions

There is a device I do not recognize in the list. What should I do?

If you see a device you do not recognize, click the log-out option next to it to close the session immediately. Then change your password and enable 2FA. If the suspicious situation persists, connect to live support chat through Paribu Support to report the situation.

Why does my own device also appear in the list?

All devices that have access to your account are listed; this includes the devices you use. For your security, you can also log out from older devices you no longer use in this window.

When I log out from a device, are my data on that device deleted?

No. Logging out only closes the Paribu session on that device; other apps or data on the device are not affected. To access Paribu again from that device, you need to sign in with your password.

How many devices can be shown in the list?

All devices that have access to your account are listed. For your security, it is recommended to regularly log out from older devices you no longer use.

Can logging out be reversed?

No. Once you log out, you need to sign in with your password to access your Paribu account again on that device. The action cannot be undone.

Device management lets you view the devices that have access to your Paribu account on a single screen and end the session on any of them. Checking the devices linked to your account regularly is recommended for your security.

How can I manage my devices?

To manage your devices on Paribu, tap Manage devices on the Security settings screen. The devices that have access to your account are listed with their date, IP address and location. You can close the session on a device you do not recognize with the delete action next to it, or close all of them together with the End sessions on all devices button below the list.

Open the Manage devices screen

1. Tap the menu icon in the top left of the screen to open the Account section
2. Tap Account and settings → Security settings
3. Under Other security settings, tap Manage devices
4. The list of devices that have access to your account appears on the screen

End the session on a single device

1. Find the device whose session you want to end in the list
2. Tap the Delete device action on that device
3. On the Are you sure you want to end this session? screen, tap Yes, end session

The confirmation screen names the device that will be affected; if you selected the wrong device you can go back with Dismiss.

Sign out from all devices

1. Tap the End sessions on all devices button below the device list
2. On the Are you sure you want to end all sessions? screen, tap Yes, end all

The confirmation screen states plainly what will happen: your sessions on all registered devices will be terminated. To access your account again, you need to sign in with your password.

What information is shown in the device list?

The device list contains three pieces of information for each device:

• Date — The date and time of the sign-in from that device
• IP address — The identifier of the internet connection the sign-in was made from
• Location — The location information of the sign-in

The device you are currently using is marked in the list with the Active device label.

Note: If you notice a sign-in from a location or IP address you do not recognize, end the session on that device right away and change your password.

Why is approval requested when signing in from a new device?

When Paribu detects a sign-in to your account from a device it does not recognize, the sign-in is not completed directly. In that case the Approve this device to sign in screen opens: "We noticed a sign-in attempt from a new device. You can approve this device by clicking the link we just sent to your email."

The one thing to watch out for while approving is also written on the screen: Make sure you approve from the same device you signed in with. The link in the email is tied to the device you were trying to sign in from; opening it on another device does not make the approval valid.

When you tap the link, the Approving your device screen appears and your approval is received. The app then shows the Device approved screen: "You have confirmed your email. You can now sign in from this device." This screen appears briefly and returns to the sign-in screen; once you enter your details one more time and sign in, the device is recognized and appears in the list.

Warning: The link expires after a while. When you open an out-of-date link, the Page link is invalid screen appears; with Back to sign in you can return to the sign-in screen and receive a new approval email by signing in again.

What happens when I end all sessions?

When you use the End sessions on all devices option, your sessions on all registered devices are closed. To access your account again, you need to sign in with your password.

Warning: If you suspect your account has been compromised, changing your password and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) after ending all sessions is recommended.
