Hello, I've been sort of testing Ring since about 6 months already... And
over this whole time I haven't been able to accomplish one of the most
important tasks for my purposes with Ring, multiple devices.

I've tried countless times the process:

On my computer (Linux Manjaro) I go to Settings > Accounts, click on my
account on the left, click on "Devices", click on "Add device", enter my
password and I get the PIN code.

On my phone (Blu Advance 5.5 HD), I go to my left sidebar, tap on "Manage
accounts", tap on the plus (+) sign, tap on "Link this device to an
account", it shows me the "Create your profile" screen, I just put the same
name of my PC profile and tap on "Next", on the next window, I enter my
password, enter the PIN I received on my PC and hit the "Link this device
to an account", after about 10 seconds, it says:
"Can't find account. Account couldn't be found on the Ring network. Make
sure it was exported on Ring from an existing device, and that provided
credentials are correct."

I've tried the other way around, I created a new, different account on my
phone, tap on "Manage accounts" as before, tap on my account, tap on "Link
another device to this account" button at the bottom, enter my password and
I get my PIN... Now, in my PC, I go to Settings > Accounts, click on the
plus (+) button to add a "new" account, click on the "Link this device to
an account" button and then on "Okay, I have the PIN!", I enter the PIN
from the phone, enter the password and after ~10 seconds, I get the "Error
creating/loading account." message.

I've tried this countless times over the last 6 months or so, I've entered
the PIN codes in all capital characters, all lowercase, nothing works.

I can communicate from my computer's account to my phone's account back and
forth, but I can't have the same account working on both devices (the whole
purpose of this post, of course!).

That's the only feature I need to finally use and recommend Ring to my
friends and start ditching Skype!

Anyway, good work so far!
