# Child Unique Security ID

 * If the MainWP Child plugin is deactivated on a site using a Child Unique Security
   ID, it is impossible to reconnect the site to the MainWP Dashboard.
 * The Dashboard warns that it is necessary to re-enter the Child Unique Security
   ID, but there is no facility to do so. This means that the only way to re-establish
   a connection is by deleting the child site from the dashboard and then adding
   it back again from scratch.
 * Could you, please, add a field so that the Child Unique Security ID can be re-
   entered in the dashboard?

 * That is currently the only way to do it if you choose to use the Unique Security
   ID feature.
 * If you have ideas such as this please enter it in the MainWP Ideas site [http://ideas.mainwp.com](http://ideas.mainwp.com)
   so others can see it and vote on the idea for inclusion.
 * Thanks

 * OK, will do.
 * In the meantime, though, I think you should make that clear on the child site
   before that feature is used.
 * You also need to change what is currently said on the dashboard, which currently
   gives the impression that the Unique Security ID needs to be re-entered when 
   re-connecting to the child site, yet provides nowhere to do so. Indeed, that’s
   what caused me to report this issue here as a bug.
