How to use more than one Locker

One Lockers account works in every community you join

When you join a second Locker, it uses the account you already have. You sign in once per browser on lockers.social, with your password or with Google, and the communities you open after that recognize you without asking again.

A Locker you run and a Locker you joined as a member appear in the same account and the same list.

Switch to another community

The community you pick opens on its own web address with you signed in, and no password prompt appears.

3. 3

   Pick a community

   Pick the community you want to open.

The address changes during a switch

Every Locker has its own web address: the hosted one that ends in lockers.social, or a custom domain if the owner has connected one on Pro. Switching takes you from one address to the other through lockers.social, which passes your sign-in to the new address. You have nothing to type, and the address bar can change twice during the switch.

Start another community, or see them all

The switcher also offers Start a community, which takes you to lockers.social to set one up. Next to it is a link to all of your communities on lockers.social, which is where to look when you want the whole list in one view.

If you use an authenticator

If you confirm your identity on lockers.social before you enter a community, the communities you open next accept that confirmation. A confirmation made on a community site covers that community only. Set up an authenticator and confirm your identity covers setup.

What each Log out signs you out of

Log out on a community site ends your session on that site. The other communities you have open stay signed in, and so does lockers.social. Logging out on lockers.social signs you out of lockers.social and of the communities you entered from that sign-in. The article Sign out of Lockers covers the difference.
