## FAQ

**Does Refract use account or profile data?** 

* If there is no profile input (Amazon only), Refract will use account data.
* If there is a profile input (most sites), Refract it will use the profile info only. 
  * If there is a matching address to the profile already on the account, it will not add the info again and will skip this step to avoid adding the same address over and over again.

**Can my profile affect site anti-bots like Shape on Target?**

* No. Your account will not affect anti-bots on sites like Shape.  

**Account does not exist error code?** 

* There is not a valid account for the site you are running on. Make sure you have created an account corresponding to the exact information in Refract. 

**Why do my passwords get reset on sites like BestBuy? What can I do?**

* Password resets are a normal occurrence on sites like BestBuy. 

**Do I need to set a proxy or proxy list for my accounts in the Accounts tab?**

* No. You should not assign proxies directly to your accounts for any site. Let your tasks handle proxies using the task proxy list. Only set a proxy on an account if you know exactly what you're doing.
