Error: Device linked to another owner.

When a device is used to login into Passportscan's App, a token is created inside our system to identify every single device. Meaning that the device is linked with the account, and it cannot be used to login into another account for security reasons.

Of course, you might be testing or your hotel is part of an hospitaility chain and you want to move that device into another account. Before being allowed to login, you need to erase the app data from your device by just erasing the data, or uninstalling the app. 

The next time you login with a clean app installation, a new token will be created and that device will be linked to another account.
