Identify the platform and account roles
Record the installed opener or connected accessory and the app used to manage it. Establish who currently owns the device in the platform and who needs access afterward. Shared access and device ownership are different arrangements. Avoid asking someone to hand over a personal account password as a shortcut for transferring one garage device.
Follow the platform’s current transfer process
Use manufacturer guidance for the exact platform and situation. For example, myQ provides moving guidance addressing devices associated with an existing account. If the previous owner is unavailable or the device remains associated with another account, use the manufacturer’s support process. Do not assume that changing Wi-Fi settings completes an ownership transfer.
Review access after the handover
Once the authorized transfer is complete, review the intended users and notifications within the supported settings. Handle physical remotes, keypads, and vehicle controls as separate access items. Keep a record of the device and support case if follow-up is needed, but do not store account credentials in a general home maintenance file. Confirm that the former and new owners understand what has actually been completed.

Before you proceed
Should the previous owner share their account password?
Use the platform’s supported transfer or support process instead of handing over a personal account password. Identify the account roles and device first. Keep any remaining association with the previous account visible as an unresolved item until the platform confirms the appropriate change.
