Manage connected browsers and devices
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
The personal settings page allows you to have an overview on the connected
|
|
browsers and devices.
|
|
|
|
Managing connected browsers
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
In the list of connected browsers you see which browsers connected to your
|
|
account recently:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/settings_sessions.png
|
|
:alt: List of browser sessions.
|
|
|
|
You can use the trash icon to disconnect any of the browsers in the list.
|
|
|
|
Managing devices
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
In the list of connected devices you see all the devices and clients you
|
|
generated a device password for and their last activity:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/settings_devices.png
|
|
:alt: List of connected devices.
|
|
|
|
You can use the trash icon to disconnect any of the devices in the list.
|
|
|
|
At the bottom of the list you find a button to create a new device-specific
|
|
password. You can choose a name to identify the token later. The generated
|
|
password is used for configuring the new client. Ideally, generate individual
|
|
tokens for every device you connect to your account, so you can disconnect
|
|
those individually if necessary.
|

|
|
|
|
.. note:: You have only access to the device password when creating it,
|
|
Nextcloud will not save the plain password, hence it's recommended to
|
|
enter the password on the new client immediately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note:: If you are :doc:`user_2fa` for your account,
|
|
device-specific passwords are the only way to configure clients. The
|
|
client will deny connections of clients using your login password then.
|
|
|
|
Device-specific passwords and password changes
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The behaviour of device-specific passwords during changes of the main password
|
|
changed in different versions of Nextcloud.
|
|
|
|
Up to Nextcloud 13
|
|
Device-specific passwords are removed on password change and also are
|
|
removed once they are not valid anymore if an external user backend is
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
Nextcloud 14
|
|
For local user backend the device-specific passwords are updated properly
|
|
and continue to work. For external user backends (like LDAP/AD) the
|
|
device-specific passwords are still removed.
|
|
|
|
Starting with Nextcloud 15
|
|
For password changes in external user backends the device-specific passwords
|
|
are marked as invalid and once a login of the user account with the main
|
|
password happens all device-specific passwords are updated and work again.
