Sign in without a browser

Last updated: October 24, 2026

On this page

On a machine without a browser, such as a server you reach over SSH, the Enlivy CLI signs in with a short code. You enter the code on your phone or laptop, and the machine is signed in as you.

This guide explains how to sign in this way.

Start the sign in

On the machine, run:

enlivy auth login --no-browser

The CLI shows a code and where to enter it:

Open https://identity.enlivy.com/device on any device, sign in, and enter the code BCDF-GHJK.

Leave the terminal open. It waits for you.

Enter the code

On your phone or laptop, open identity.enlivy.com/device and sign in to Enlivy.

Type the code exactly as the terminal shows it, then press Continue.

Enter the code from your terminal.

Continue only if you started this sign in yourself. Never enter a code someone sent you by email, chat or phone: it would let their machine act as you.

Allow the CLI

Choose the organizations the CLI may work in, then press Allow.

Choose the organizations and press Allow.

Go back to the terminal

The page confirms that your device is connected.

Your device is connected.

Within a few seconds, the terminal says you are signed in:

Signed in to https://api.enlivy.com as Jane Doe <jane@example.com>.

Good to know

  • The code works for ten minutes. If it expires, run the command again for a new one.
  • The machine stays signed in while you use it. To sign it out, run enlivy auth logout there, or disconnect the Enlivy CLI from your Enlivy account, under Connected apps.
