PIN Linking vs Quick Link

PIN Linking vs Quick Link

Two methods to connect a device to your account.

PIN Linking

Best for: New devices, first-time setup

Process:

  1. Get a PIN code from the device’s display
  2. Enter the PIN in the web app
  3. Device is linked to your account

Security: The PIN expires after 5 minutes and can only be used once.

Best for: Re-linking a previously unlinked device

Process:

  1. Scan a QR code with the web app
  2. Or enter the device’s quick link code
  3. Device is linked to your account

Security: Requires existing authentication session.
