How to create a new sync chain

If you selected wrong don't worry, you can change the type of syncing device on the next screen.

 

Desktop

If you previously selected Phone/Tablet you can change to Computer by clicking View Sync Code.

 

Or if you previously selected Computer you can switch to Phone/Tablet by clicking View QR Code.

 

Android

If you previously selected Mobile Device you can change to Computer by clicking Code Words.

 

Or if you previously selected Computer you can switch to Mobile Device by clicking QR Code.

 

After this follow the instructions for adding a device by QR code or adding a device by sync code depending on what you need.

 

Note: No matter what devices you do or don't have on your synch chain you should keep a secure backup of your sync code. This backup should be kept secret and should not be shared with anyone. If someone gains access to either your sync code or your QR code they have full read and write access to your synced data.
