The account used in the Moss mobile app can only be used on one trusted device. By limiting the number of trusted devices, it enhances the security of the user's account, and reduces the likelihood of data breaches.
Anybody who has already connected a trusted mobile device can remove it, though you can only remove a trusted device that has been linked to your own account.
