4.1 Switching users

By default, the MyID Client for Windows uses your current Windows user details rather than prompting for a username.

You can switch to a different user account if required.

Note: If your administrator has configured your MyID Client for Windows with a username and specified that the user cannot override this value, you cannot switch user accounts.

To switch to a different user account:

1. Click the Switch User button.

   

   The Welcome to MyID screen appears.

   

2. Type your username.

   If you want the MyID Client for Windows to detect your Windows account name, click the Use Windows Account Name link.

   Note: If you provide a username that matches your Windows user identifier, your SAM account name, or your UPN, the MyID Client for Windows provides all three identifiers to the server.

3. Optionally, select the Remember Me option to remember your username so you do not have to type it again when you launch the MyID Client for Windows. If you do not set this option, the MyID Client for Windows uses your Windows user details instead.
