MirageID lets you create many Identities, and use them at the same time on the same computer, or on different computers. This document discusses how to create, manage, and use Identities in the MirageID browser.
Creating Identities
To create an Identity follow these steps:
Go to the MirageID account management website , and log in with your regular MirageID username and password. You can do this from any web browser.
Navigate to the Identities Tab on the left:
Then Click on "Create Identity"
You will see a popup window with a few options. We'll go through each of these options. Depending on your account type, you may only see some of these options on your Create Identity screen.
Name - Required. This is the name of the Identity, and the way you will be able to tell which Identity you are working in. It's typically a good idea to choose something that will tell you what this particular Identity is for.
Home Page - Optional. If you want the Identity to always open to a specific website, put that url in here. Otherwise the Identity will always open to a blank page.
Type - Optional. Leave this as Standard unless you are given instructions by support otherwise.
Location - Optional. This is the location that the IP address for this Identity comes from. Websites will see all traffic as coming from this location.
Sync Cookies - Optional. This is a legacy option and will be removed shortly. Leave this off.
