Seesaw app FAQs for families and students

Our family has multiple Seesaw users on one device. How can we log in to multiple Seesaw accounts from a shared device?

Users can switch between accounts on one shared device! 

For desktop users, another option is to have each user active in a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). Users on a mobile device will need to use the Seesaw app.

I’m concerned about the security of having multiple accounts signed in on the same device.

Our account switching feature is designed to make it easier to switch between accounts when multiple people share the same device. If you don’t want someone else who is sharing your device to be able to switch to your account, you can sign out between sessions.
