Questions too obvious to ask

Will my tabs stay open? Will I stay logged in? Do I need a proxy? The basics nobody writes down, answered plainly.

The questions people don't ask because they feel too basic. They're all reasonable, and the answers are short.

🗂️ Using a profile#

Will my tabs stay open?

Yes. A profile reopens with the tabs you left, because new profiles start on Previously opened tabs. Close a profile with ten tabs, open it tomorrow, and the ten tabs come back.

Set a profile's Start URL to Blank page if you'd rather it started clean. Across two computers, tabs travel on paid plans, and only once the browser has been closed on the first one. See Tabs, sessions and clearing a profile's cache.

Will I stay logged in?

Yes. Cookies and site data live in that profile's own browser folder on your disk. Closing the browser, closing LoginDeck, restarting Windows and updating the app all keep you logged in.

You'd only be logged out if the site itself ends your session, you clear the profile's cache, or you delete the profile.

Does closing LoginDeck close my profiles?

Yes. Quitting LoginDeck stops every profile browser it has open — and on Windows, closing the LoginDeck window is quitting.

Keep it open while you work. Also keep it open if you use schedules: they only run while LoginDeck is running.

Do I have to close a profile before opening it on another computer?

Yes. One computer at a time per profile. If you forget, the second computer says That profile is open on another computer and offers Open here anyway — which closes it on the first. See When someone else has a profile open.

Can two people use one profile at the same time?

No. Same rule as above: one machine at a time, whether it's two of your own computers or two people on a team.

Two people who need to work at once need a profile each. Sharing an account across two profiles means two logged-in sessions from two addresses, which is what gets accounts flagged.

How many profiles can I open at once?

As many as your computer can cope with. LoginDeck doesn't cap it. Each open profile is a full browser, so RAM is what runs out — budget a few hundred megabytes each.

Is one profile meant to be one account?

Yes, that's the whole idea. One profile, one account, one proxy. Two accounts in one profile share cookies, fingerprint and address, so the site can see they're the same person.

See Good habits that keep accounts safe.

🗃️ Deleting and changing things#

Does deleting a folder delete the profiles in it?

No. The profiles move to Unfiled and keep everything — fingerprints, proxies, cookies, logins. Deleting a tag just takes that label off the profiles that had it.

Only Delete on a profile deletes a profile, and even then it goes to Recently deleted for 30 days.

If I delete a profile, is it really gone?

Not immediately. It sits in Recently deleted for 30 days with its cookies intact, and Restore brings it back. After 30 days it's erased. See Delete and restore profiles.

If I change a profile's fingerprint, do I lose my logins?

No. Cookies and site data are untouched by a fingerprint change.

Do it thoughtfully though: a site that has seen this account on one machine for months will notice it suddenly being a different machine.

Will uninstalling LoginDeck delete my profiles?

No. Uninstalling removes the app and leaves your data in %APPDATA%\LoginDeck, so reinstalling finds everything where it was.

To wipe everything deliberately, delete that folder by hand after uninstalling — which does destroy every local profile, so export first.

Will an update close my browsers or log me out?

It closes any open profile browsers, because installing has to. Your logins survive — they're on disk, not in memory.

That's why LoginDeck never installs an update on its own: the banner waits for you, and tells you how many browsers are open. See Updates.

🌐 Proxies and addresses#

Do I need a proxy?

Not to use LoginDeck. A profile with no proxy goes out on your own connection, which is fine for testing.

You do need one if the accounts must not look related, because every profile without a proxy shares your one address — and address is the strongest link a site has. See Which proxy should I use?

Does each profile need its own proxy?

For accounts that must look unrelated, yes. Several accounts on one address is exactly the pattern platforms look for.

You can point many profiles at one saved proxy, and it's the right thing for profiles allowed to look related.

Does LoginDeck give me proxies?

No. There's no proxy store and no included traffic on any plan — bring your own. The exception is your own Android phone, which can act as a mobile proxy for free: Use an Android phone as a mobile proxy.

I created a profile and added a proxy. Is that it?

Nearly. Two more minutes are worth it:

  1. Check the proxy: Proxies → ⋯ → Check now, and confirm the country and ISP are what you expected.
  2. Leave the profile's timezone on Match the exit IP so the clock follows the proxy.
  3. If it's a new profile for a real account, warm it up before logging in: Warm up new profiles.

💻 The app itself#

Is LoginDeck a browser, or an add-on to Chrome?

Its own browser. LoginDeck builds its own Chromium and runs each profile in it. It doesn't touch, change or read the Chrome you already have — a profile's cookies and your normal Chrome's cookies never meet.

Do I need a LoginDeck account to use it?

Yes. There's no signed-out mode. An account is free, needs no card, and is what makes sync, teams and your plan work. See Create your LoginDeck account.

Does the free plan expire?

No. 10 profiles, 2 computers, no card, no expiry. It's one free account per person, counted per computer and per internet connection. See The free plan.

Can I use my account on two computers?

Yes, up to your plan's limit: Free 2, Pro 3, Team 10, Custom 25. Your profiles, proxies, tags and Flows appear on both. A computer stops counting 30 days after it was last used.

See Use LoginDeck on another computer.

Does LoginDeck work offline?

Mostly. Profiles open, browsers run and everything local keeps working — the app trusts the last plan the server told it about rather than locking you out on a train.

Two things need the network: sync waits until you're back, and the check on where your proxy exits can't run, so a proxied profile launches on its saved timezone and says so in a red toast.

Do I need administrator rights to install it?

No. The installer sets LoginDeck up for your own Windows user and never asks to elevate. Updates don't either.

Is there a Mac version?

LoginDeck ships for Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit today. macOS is coming; the website will say when.

🔐 Data and privacy#

Are my profiles on my computer or in your cloud?

On your computer. The browser folders, cookies and caches never leave it except through sync.

What syncs is an encrypted copy of your profile records — names, fingerprints, proxies, tags, folders, Flows — so a second computer can rebuild them. Cookies and sessions sync too, on paid plans. The exact list is What syncs between your computers.

Can you read my profiles and proxy passwords?

Your data is encrypted before it leaves your computer, with a key derived from your password. The server stores ciphertext.

There's one honest caveat: since September 2026 the server also holds a sealed recovery copy of that key, which is what makes Forgot password possible at all. How your data is protected spells out exactly what that means.

Can my team see everything?

Members see the workspace they're invited to, and you can scope them to particular folders. A member with Can run access can open shared profiles but can't change them. See What members can see and do.

If I change my password, what happens?

Every other computer is signed out and has to sign in with the new password. Your profiles stay where they are on each of them. Changing a password doesn't remove computers from your plan's count.

See Change your password or email.
