OK, on the Cloudant service page there is a Service Credentials. Now I recall adding this at the beginning. I didn't ever copy and paste the password/key in the view credentials in the first instance????? Regardless from a second machine and my mobile I can login with the service credentials and all appears well. Changes sync across all three.
Still can't say I understand the multi-user aspect, which appears supported in some fashion given I can create and login with different credentials, but shutting down for the night.
