As stated in the [FAQ](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/etc/faq/general-faqs):

> _How does Glide count the number of users of my app?_ The number of app users displayed on your dashboard is the number of unique devices that have _visited_ your app. If one person opens your app on their laptop, and on their phone, that would count as `2` users in this context, regardless of whether they log in and use your app.

I just launched an app on a free plan set to “Password sign-in”. The counter in the dashboard indicates “10 users”. This app was used by 2 people (only 2 people have the password) on a maximum of 3 devices (we do not own 10 devices between us). So “10” can neither represent the number of unique users, nor the number of devices.

I did reinstall the app a few times though.

My assumption is that “The number of app users displayed on your dashboard is the number of unique devices that have visited your app **and** a “reinstall” of the app on a device will make this device appear as a different device”. Even though a Glide app is a link.
