Sign In on a New Device

Sign in with a synced passkey, or add a new passkey to another device.

Last updated February 7, 2026

There are two ways to sign in on a new device:

  • If your passkeys sync (most common), just sign in normally.
  • If your new device doesn’t have a passkey yet, add one from an existing signed-in session.
  1. Open WatchThis on the new device.
  2. Go to /auth.
  3. Click Sign In with Passkey.
  4. Approve the prompt on your device (Face ID/Touch ID/Windows Hello/Android lock screen).

If your prompt doesn’t appear, see Passkey Prompts Not Showing.

Use this when the new device doesn’t have your WatchThis passkey available.

  1. On a device where you’re already signed in, go to Profile (/profile).
  2. Open the Security tab.
  3. Under Passkey Devices, click Add Passkey.

You’ll see a claim screen with a link and QR code.

Add Passkey Claim Dialog

  1. On the new device, open the claim link (or scan the QR code).
  2. Follow the passkey prompt to create a new passkey for your account.

After registration, the new device appears in your device list on the original device.

  • Claim links expire after a short time for security.
  • Your account must always have at least one passkey.
  • You can keep multiple passkeys (for example: laptop + phone).
