Connect a machine

Your machine prints one line when it starts: an address and a short code. The code proves the person at this page is the person at that machine. Paste the line.

What happens when you press that

  1. Your browser sends four things straight to your machine: the code, the name of your account, the name you gave the machine, and a limited pass we mint the moment you press Connect, which lets your machine check its own access with us. Your browser keeps none of it. That request does not come here — open your network tab and watch.
  2. Your machine checks the code and issues a second, different pass — the one your browser will use from now on. We never see it, which is why we could not impersonate your browser to your own machine.
  3. Only then does this site store four things: account, agent_url, paired_at, label.

no field here accepts a key

You place your key yourself. Nothing here ever sees it. No field on this page, or anywhere on this site, accepts an API key. If something here ever asks you for one, it is not us.
