Go to solution Solved by Senzelian,

If you have created a passkey and entered it into the client, then you're good to go. You don't need to create an account.

 

If you want to set it up on another PC you simply have to download the software, install it and enter your name, passkey and teamnumber again. That's it.

 

Btw.: If you want a (imo) better interface to work with, right click the little F@H icon in your taskbar and open the advanced view:

Within the settings (click "configure") you can check your passkey, name and team number:

Oh and one more thing.

The F@H icon is in the top left corner 🙂 

 

The web version is really just an overlay. In the background you'll always have the app running.

Best website for checking your stats is this one:

Select "User Name" on the left side of the page and type in your Username.

It takes some time until the changes are reflected on their stats page. Takes about 1 or 2 days.
