How to disconnect and reconnect the agent in Multilogin
Use this guide if you access Multilogin through the web interface and need to restart or update the local agent.
If you use the Multilogin desktop app, you do not need to connect a separate agent – the desktop app handles this automatically.
Disconnecting and reinstalling the agent can refresh a stuck connection and also installs the latest available agent version.
