# Passwordless PC login

{% hint style="info" %}
The Hideez Authenticator app supports **multi-accounts**, allowing you to manage multiple user accounts registered on Hideez Enterprise Server (HES) within a single domain, or from different Hideez servers in various domains. This is particularly useful if you manage multiple servers or have multiple accounts on one server. It also allows unlocking workstations connected to different servers.
