Multi-Device Setup¶
Two ways to add a device to your identity:
| Approach | Command | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Pairing (recommended) | auths pair |
QR code / short code exchange. Handles key agreement and attestation automatically. |
| Manual Linking | auths device link |
Import a key seed, derive the DID, and create the attestation yourself. No registry needed. |
Use auths pair for most setups
Pairing is the fastest path -- one command on each device, no manual key handling. See Pairing (QR Code).
Choose Manual Linking when you need full control over key material or can't run a registry server.
