Logging in on a
second device.

How sessions work across phone, tablet and desktop. Whether you need to sign out anywhere first.

Log in anywhere, anytime. Sessions are per-device. Logging in on your phone doesn't kick you out on the desktop. No need to "transfer" or sign out elsewhere first.

nouz supports unlimited concurrent sessions across devices. Most owners run a typical pattern: desktop for monthly reviews, phone for nightly close-outs, occasionally a tablet on the counter for between-rush glances. All three can be signed in simultaneously without conflict.

01 How do nouz sessions work?

Each login creates a session token stored as a cookie on that specific device. The token is independent — your desktop has one, your phone has another. They don't conflict, don't expire each other, and don't share state. That's why logging in somewhere new never signs you out elsewhere: every device simply holds its own session, and you don't have to transfer or sign out first.

02 Can I be logged in on multiple devices at once?

You can be logged in on every device you own simultaneously. Common pattern: desktop for monthly P&L reviews, phone for evening close-out, tablet on the counter for between-rush glances. nouz syncs in real-time — log a revenue entry on your phone, and the desktop sees it on the next page load.

03 What should I do if a device is lost?

If you lose a phone or laptop with an active nouz session, the safe move is to reset your password — this invalidates every existing session token across every device. You'll need to log in fresh everywhere, but the lost device is locked out.

04 When do sessions expire?

Sessions expire automatically. Even if you forget, sessions expire after a period of inactivity (typically a few weeks). A genuinely abandoned session won't stay valid forever.

Each session token has a built-in expiry. Active use refreshes the timer; an unused session times out after a few weeks of no activity. So if you logged in once on a friend's laptop months ago and forgot, that session has long since expired — nobody can use it now.
