When you sign up for Movistar Plus+, you get an account to access from other devices. That account consists of a username and a password. These two pieces of information are important, since without them you cannot access Movistar Plus+ content from smart televisions, smartphones, tablets, computers and other devices to view content on the television through the Internet.

Each one on a different device. Also, creating profiles is very easy and has advantages, as we saw before. The main one, to have your own favorites list.

Once the profiles are created, we can modify them so that they have another name or avatar. Just tap on the active profile and you will see the option Manage Profiles > Edit Profile. After the changes, just click on To update to see the changes applied. You have to remember that these will only be visible in the application and not through the decoder, where a default profile will appear.
Since there is a limit of four profiles, you can delete or delete a profile if you no longer consider it necessary. Note that if you delete it, you will lose the advantages and/or customizations associated with that profile. Otherwise, deleting a profile is as easy as going to Manage Profiles > Modify Profile > Delete Profile and finally click Delete. You will see a message to confirm that you really want to delete this profile.
To delete a profile, this must be idle. If you are active in your Movistar Plus+ account session on any of the devices configured for it, you must log out of those devices.
