I have two different windows PCs that are identifying as the same device. They have different names, different hardware but at one point did both use the same SSD. I’ve tried logging out, deleting the device but nothing seems to work. Is there something else I can try outside of creating a new account?

Window on right is RDP into the other computer. Window on left is local browser.

Hello David, this can happen when using the same browser profile on two machines. Does uninstalling the extension and installing it again register it as a new device?
