How to Re-Register a Tapo or Kasa Device to Another TP-Link Account

Need to transfer a Tapo or Kasa device to another TP-Link account? This guide explains how to remove the existing account binding, sign in with a new TP-Link ID, and reconfigure the device so it can be successfully registered to the new account.

Key Takeaways

• A factory reset is required before a device can be registered to another TP-Link account.
• Factory resetting removes the current account binding and restores default settings.
• Sign out of the original TP-Link account and log in with the new TP-Link ID in the Tapo or Kasa app.
• After the reset, the device must be added and configured again as a new device.
• Setup guides are available for different Tapo and Kasa device categories, including cameras, plugs, lighting, hubs, and robot vacuums.

Transfer Devices to Another Account

Step 1: Factory Reset the Device

A factory reset removes the device from the currently linked TP-Link account and restores it to factory default settings. For model-specific reset instructions:

• Visit the TP-Link Download Center or the Tapo Support Website.
• Search for your device model and open the support download page.
• Refer to the Quick Installation Guide (QIG) or User Guide (UG) for the reset procedure.

Step 2: Sign In with the New TP-Link ID

Open the Tapo or Kasa app and sign in using the TP-Link ID that you want to associate with the device.

If you are still logged in with the original account, open the Tapo/Kasa app, go to Me > View Account, tap Log Out, then sign in with the new TP-Link ID. You can access the Me page by tapping Me in the bottom-right corner or your profile picture in the top-left corner.

Step 3: Set Up the Device Again

After signing in to the new TP-Link ID, set up the device as a new device in the app. Once setup is complete, the device will be linked to the new account.
