How to Create a Configuration File
Click 'Start' next to the browser profile. Once opened, you will enter the Multilogin start page — here you will see details of your profile fingerprint. Learn how to further check your fingerprint in our article 'How to Fix Inconsistent Browser Fingerprints'.
How to Stop Profile

Click 'Stop' next to the browser profile.
- Cloud Profile: Your session data will automatically sync with the server.
- Local Profile: Data is stored on your computer, which means you cannot access it on other devices.
For team collaboration, always use a cloud profile. For more information about storage options, see the article 'Cloud Storage and Local Storage in Multilogin'.
