This means you can have multiple logins using same account
just with different resoures (such as Home, Work, Laptop, etc..)
Change them on JID settings page. Note that first change you make
will preserve your IP, after that you will receive new IP
adresses for other resources.

reuse your settings and have same set of contacts, or your
other resources on your contact list
