Hi  @Felix_Angel,

 

You can't share your account with your family, however you can share devices with family members. They can create their own Tapo user account and then you can go into the device settings for the devices you want to share and select Share device and follow the prompts.

 

Note that the family members will only have limited access to the device, (depending on the device type).

 

If you want them to have full access to the devices then you could share your user name and password and they can log in to your account from their own device, however this provides total access including changing settings, removing devices, etc so you should only do that if you trust them.

 

You may even use a combination of both options above, I.e. share your account with partner but only share specific devices with children...

 

Hope this helps.

Hi,
If you share your TP-Link account with someone else, you can enable the 2FA feature on the Tapo app to only allow specific devices to log in to the Tapo app with your account to protect your account.
