# Link a device

> Sign in on your phone or tablet by pairing it with this account.

Link a device signs you in on your phone or tablet by pairing it with the account you're using on this computer. Open **Settings**, then **Link a device**.

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/hopsdocs/tkB4Ie3VaZfG_Zdp/images/link-a-device.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=tkB4Ie3VaZfG_Zdp&q=85&s=931aee5d2b62b2d67fe8c7152fb12489" alt="The Link a device page with a QR code, a pairing code and the steps to link a device." width="1920" height="1080" data-path="images/link-a-device.png" />
</Frame>

The page shows a QR code and a pairing code in the format `XXXX-XXXX`, with the label **Enter this code in the Hops mobile app**. The code is time-limited. The page shows **Expires in** with a countdown, and a **Regenerate** button gives you a fresh code.

<Warning>
  Only link a device you're holding. Hops will never ask you to share this code.
</Warning>

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the app">
    Install and open the Hops app on the phone or tablet you want to sign in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scan or enter the code">
    On the device, choose **Scan code** and point the camera here, or type the code in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Compare and approve">
    Both screens show the same 6-digit number. If they match, approve it here.
  </Step>
</Steps>
