## I sync Journals between two or more computers, and have to re-auth on each switch
Ref: [#1632: EDMC needs to re-authenticate every time I switch computers](https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/1632)
For a single game account combined with a single 'Client Id' only *one*
authorisation can be active at a time.
What this means in practice is that if
you authenticate on Computer A for Account A with respect to Client A (i.e.
EDMC), then EDMC stores the 'Refresh Token' for future use, and refreshes it
to the new value when used.
If you then authenticate, for Account A with respect to the same ClientA, but
on Computer B, then you will get a *different* Refresh Token, and the one that
Computer A has stored will now be invalid.
Result: Each time you (re-)authenticate on one computer you will be
invalidating tthe other computer's authorization, and the next time it needs
to obtain a new Access Token you will be forced to re-authenticate.
The only workaround for this would be to synchronise the Registry entry:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Marginal\EDMarketConnector\fdev_apikeys
between the two computers.
