2 identical PS4s at home

Hello, my boyfriend has two consoles.
He just transferred his data to the second one to be able to play on it.
I took his first console to play on it, but when I turned on the console, the second one that was on upstairs paused because I was obviously logged into his account.
To avoid any issues and to play on my own account without a subscription, do I need to delete his account which has a subscription?
I want to specify that the second console is the primary one.
The one I have is not set as primary for now.
Should I reset the controller that I'm using?

    Hello!

    An account can only have one primary PS4; therefore, to be able to play simultaneously on two consoles, you need two different primary accounts (otherwise, when the same primary account is logged into the second console, it will disconnect that account from the first console).

    You don’t necessarily have to delete the account; just remove the PS4 from the account as "primary" (in the settings) PS4 Manual

      Alright, thanks for your answer. So if I understood correctly, I need to go into his account and disable the main console function and enable it in mine.

        Yes, that's it! He can only have one main PS4; disable the main console feature from his account on your console and activate that feature with your account :)

        And vice versa.

        This allows playing games on both accounts (account sharing).
