Multiple Signal accounts on one computer
Signal accounts are tied to a phone, and Signal Desktop does not create accounts: according to Signal's Help Center, it must be linked to Signal on an Android phone or iPhone. A phone holds one number, an account can link up to five devices, and linked devices are unlinked if the phone stays out of touch for 30 days. For teams, the shared space Signal documents is a group with admins, not a shared login.
