Synopsis
Description
Run capy pair on the machine you want to add. It prints a QR code, a browser link, and a short code. Open or scan the link on a device where you can sign in to Capy. The CLI polls for that browser approval.
After the browser approves the device grant, Capy shows the returned account and asks whether to enable this location as that account. The default is No. Run the command in an interactive terminal: --json changes its output but does not remove the confirmation. Until you explicitly confirm, Capy installs neither a session nor keys.
After confirmation, Capy retrieves the key material that a signed-in browser previously activated with capy transport. It installs entries only for the authenticated account. If no activated keys are available, run capy transport on a machine that already has them, activate its link in a browser, and try again.
Review the displayed account before confirming, especially on a shared machine. An automated workflow must not answer the confirmation prompt on your behalf.
