Sign in and approve a device

When the Blixel app or CLI asks you to sign in to a Blixel server, continue in
your browser. The available sign-in methods depend on the server.

Sign in to the website

If email sign-in is available, enter your email address. Enter the six-character
code from the email on the next page. The email code expires after ten minutes.

If Google sign-in is available, choose Continue with Google and use an
account allowed by your server.

If no sign-in method is available, contact the server administrator.

Approve the device

  1. Enter the device code from the app or CLI if the browser asks for it.
  2. Compare the code on the confirmation page with the code in the app or CLI.
  3. Check the account shown under Approving as. Choose Sign in as someone
    else
    if it is the wrong account.
  4. Choose Approve only if you started this sign-in and the codes match.
    Otherwise, choose Decline.
  5. After approval, return to the app or CLI. You can close the browser page.

The device code and the emailed sign-in code serve different steps. Use the
code requested by the page you are on.

An invalid or expired code

Check the device code and try again. If it has expired, start a new sign-in from
the app or CLI and use its new code.

Manage signed-in devices

Open Sessions from the website's account menu to review your signed-in
browsers, apps, and CLI sessions. Revoking a session signs out only that session.
