Unpairing the desktop app

Unpair the PingID desktop application from your machine.

About this task

To unpair your desktop application, complete the following processes:

  1. Unpair the local desktop app on your machine.

  2. Unpair the desktop app service linked to your account.

If you unpair while online (connected to the internet), steps 1 and 2 are done at the same time. If you are offline, you need to unpair the desktop application service separately. If you have more than one device paired to your account, you can do this from your Devices page, otherwise contact your customer support, who will do it for you.

If you have more than one organization paired to the desktop application and you want to unpair a single organization, see Unpairing an organization from PingID desktop app.
