Logging in using device authorization

Any Skills learner can use device authorization to make logging in to our desktop 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.

1. Open the Pluralsight macOS app.
2. Click Sign in.
3. Click Use Single Sign-On (SSO).
4. Click Authorize your device with a code.
5. Click the 6-digit code that appears to copy it to your clipboard. Each code expires after 15 minutes.
6. Click pluralsight.com/auth (opens in new tab) above the code. This will open a login page within the app.
7. Log in using your Pluralsight credentials. This will automatically take you to the Devices tab within your Account page (opens in new tab)
8. Paste the 6-digit code in the Security code field, then click Add device.

Your device has been authorized.

Logging in using SSO
