All courses save to one anonymous profile. Keep your private recovery code and wait for “Progress saved” before leaving. The code restores your work on another browser or device.
Earlier browser progress can be imported explicitly and is labelled self-reported. A printable summary shows saved practice status, not verified identity or accreditation. Keep your recovery code out of screenshots.
