Sign in to the Hub's web page

The page shows a QR. Scan it with SecureEyes on a phone or tablet that already uses the Hub, and the browser signs itself in. Nothing to type.

What the page shows

  • A Hub nobody has claimed shows its setup QR. Scan it with SecureEyes to set the Hub up.
  • A claimed Hub shows Sign in to its name, and a sign-in QR for this browser.
  • A signed-in browser shows the admin.
  • A blocked Hub shows the admin with the reason at the top. Only the pages that keep working are open.

Sign in

  1. 01Open https://<Hub address>:8443 in the browser. The browser warns about the certificate: that is expected, because it is the Hub's own.
  2. 02On a phone or tablet that already uses the Hub, open SecureEyes, go to Settings, then Hub, and tap Scan next to Sign in a browser.
  3. 03Scan the QR on the page. The app names the browser and its address.
  4. 04Tap Sign in if that browser is in front of you. The page signs itself in within a few seconds.
On a Mac

In SecureEyes, go to Settings, then Hub, and choose Open Hub admin. The page opens in your browser already signed in.

How it stays safe

  • The QR holds no secret. Only the browser that asked can collect the sign-in, so a photo of the screen signs nothing in.
  • A QR expires after 2 minutes. The page draws a new one by itself.
  • A signed-in browser is a paired device like a phone. Its sign-in lasts 30 days and renews while you use it.

Sign out

Go to Settings, then Devices, and press Sign out of this browser. The browser is removed from the Hub, not just forgotten by the browser.

Open the Hub's web page, or sign a browser in

Open Hub admin opens the page on this device, already signed in. Sign in a browser signs in another computer by scanning its screen.
