Hi Matt.

To my understanding from translating the clients you'll need to install the new 
client on the device on which the account you want to use is present. Until now 
accounts have been local so existing accounts are not known to the network.

Using the new client you'll be able to export the account onto the network for 
a limited time (texts in the Android client says 10 minutes, 5 in the  gnome 
client) protected by a user chosen  PIN. Within the time limit you should be 
able to import/link any other new client to this account by providing the 
RingID/username and PIN.

I haven't actually tested this this myself, though. Hopefully the master key 
will be completely removed from the network afte the time is up. I guess they 
might also use the etherum network for this feature, like is mentioned is the 
case for the new username feature.

Good luck,
Mikkel
