Why the "Logged into Another Device" Message Appears
You may receive this message asking if you wish to continue and log out of the other device for several common reasons:
1. Using a Different Browser
If you commonly use Model Match on Google Chrome but then log into your account with Microsoft Edge, Safari, or Firefox, you may receive this message.
2. Using Private or Incognito Windows
Logging into Model Match using a Private or Incognito window in your browser will trigger this message, even if you're using the same browser.
3. Using Your Mobile Device
If you log into Model Match on your mobile device after using it on your computer (or vice versa), you'll see this message.
💡 You should know that while a "device" could be another computer, tablet, or mobile phone, it can also be another browser or browser window on the same computer.
What This Message Means
This does not mean that someone else has accessed your account. The message appears because Model Match's security system detects a login from what it considers a different "device" or session.
Common scenarios that trigger this message:
- Switching between browsers on the same computer
- Using incognito/private browsing mode
- Logging in from your phone after using your computer
- Using Model Match on a work computer and then your personal computer
How to Proceed When You See This Message
- Click "Yes" to continue - This message will not block you from logging into Model Match
- You will be logged out of the previous session automatically when you proceed
- Continue using Model Match normally - Your account access and data remain secure
