Sign in with another device
Nothing to type on the new device: no email, no password, no Secret Key.
- On the new device, choose Sign in, then Sign in with another device. It shows a QR code that changes every 30 seconds, and a code to type.
- On a device you already use, open Profile, then Link a device. On iPhone and iPad, choose Scan the code and point it at the QR code. On Mac, choose Type the code and type the code shown under the QR code.
- Check the device's name, where and when it asked, then choose Approve and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode.
- On the new device, check that the email is yours and choose Continue.
Approve only a device that is in front of you. Your other devices and your email are told that a device was added. To turn this off for your account, open Account and turn off Sign in with another device.
With your email and password
On the new device
- Install Wardterm and sign in with your email and vault password, or with Apple or Google.
- The app shows Add this device, with a 6-digit code and a QR code.
On a device you already use
- Open Wardterm. The request appears by itself. If it does not, open Link a device in Profile.
- Choose Review.
- Type the code shown on the new device, then choose Approve and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode.
On iPhone and iPad you can also choose Scan the code in Link a device and point it at the QR code.
Your other devices are told that a device was added. Too many wrong codes deny the request. If you are not signing in yourself right now, choose Deny.
Without another device
On the new device, choose Type the Secret Key instead and type the Secret Key from your recovery kit. It starts with W1-.
Notifications
Turn on Sign-in requests when the app offers it: your devices get a notification when a new device asks to join your account, even with Wardterm closed.
Remove a device
In Account, Devices lists the devices signed in to your account. Choose one, then Sign out: it stops syncing at once. See Your account.
