Manage Hero with multiple profiles

With profiles, you can keep all your Hero info separate, like bookmarks, history, passwords, and other settings.

Profiles are ideal when you want to:

  • Share a computer with multiple people.
  • Keep your different accounts, like work and personal, separate.

What others can see when you share Hero

Only share your device with people you trust. If someone has your device, they can switch to any other Hero profile on it. If they open your Hero profile, they can see info like what websites you visited.

If you choose to sign in to Hero with your Hero Account in this new profile, you'll be able to save your bookmarks, passwords, and other settings in your account and access them on your other devices where you’re signed in.
