To work around this issue, you can do the following:
105117
1. In the ConnectLife mobile app, create a new account using an email and password (needs to be a different email to your SSO account as that is now occupied by that SSO).

2. Still in the mobile app, switch accounts back to your SSO account, go to the device/s you have already setup in your SSO account, select them 1 by 1, scrolling to the bottom to get to the "Share Device" option and adding your new email to the shared accounts list.
