Can one usb device work on two separate accounts for a given domain, (e.g. work gmail and personal gmail), or do you need two of them?
- klodolph 8y agoOne device can work on two separate accounts, no problem. For the same reason you can use the same password for two different accounts (although there are other reasons why you wouldn't want to do that).
