Logging in with device authorization

Any Skills learner can use device authorization to make logging in to our mobile apps easier. After you authorize a device, you’ll be able to log in without entering your username and password. If you change your password, you won’t need to re-authorize your device. If you want to set up an authenticator, see Multi-factor authentication.

Important: Each device should only be authorized once. For optimal app performance, remove any duplicate authorizations from your Account page (opens in new tab).
