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 instead, 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).

Device authorization for Android

  1. Open the Pluralsight mobile app.
  2. Tap Sign in to start watching.
  3. Tap Use Single Sign-On (SSO).
  4. Tap Authorize your device with a code.
  5. Take note of the 6-digit code that appears, then go to pluralsight.com/auth (opens in new tab) on a browser. Each code expires after 15 minutes.
    1. If you aren't logged in to Skills on the browser, log in with your credentials first.
