 Also, when you generate a Security Phrase, you will be offered to generate a Security Key as well. So why not get both for the price of one?

-If you are logged into another session, e.g. on your phone, it's easiest to click **Use another login**. There are multiple ways how this is handled, which depends on where the other session is running, e.g. Element on phones will allow you to do this via scanning a QR code.
