# Devices

> Managing connected devices in Maximum VPN

The device management section lets you control which devices are connected to your Maximum VPN account.

***

## What is HWID

**HWID** (Hardware ID) is a unique device identifier. Each device from which you connect to the VPN gets its own HWID. This allows the system to track the number of simultaneous connections.

***

## Viewing Devices

In the [dashboard](https://app.maximum-vpn.com), open **Settings → Devices tab** — it displays a list of all connected devices with the following information:

* **Device identifier** (HWID)
* **Last connection date**

<Warning>
  **See an unknown device in the list?**

  If you see a device you did not add — someone may have gained access to your configuration link. Act immediately:

  1. **Change your password** in [profile settings](/en/dashboard/settings) if you sign in via email.
  2. **Check the security** of your linked Google account or Telegram — make sure no one else has access.
  3. **Remove the unknown device** from the list.
  4. **Contact [support](https://maximum-vpn.com/support)** to reset your configuration link. After the reset, the old link will stop working on all devices — you will need to copy the new link from your dashboard.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  You can also manage devices through the [Telegram Mini App](/en/telegram/mini-app) — viewing and removing devices is available right in Telegram.
