Originally created by @BJorah on GitHub (Aug 4, 2024).

I found that when using an Android device to join the network, I can only click on "connect" and jump to the webpage, and log in with the user's account password. However, as the administrator of the network, I do not want the Android device I join to know my account and password.
So how should I set up the Android device to join the network through a set up key?
I'm setting up a self-hosted server and have disabled single account mode, so every time I create a new user, I create a new network. Can I have an Android device join several different networks?

I suggest adding the ability to directly include server url and the key via a QR code. This would enhance professionalism and improve usability.

Hi, I think there is no reaction due to the difficulty of the ability to differentiate "User" and "machines" with a token.

If I want to Bob join my network, currently, Bob must create a user account, user account who is limited to 5 on the free plan. Allow to join with a token permits Bob to join my network without creating a user account, with this method I pass from 5 users to 100 machines.

So, a token seems to be reserved to a real machine without users, like a server.

Correct?

Correct?

Why the same logic wouldn't apply to desktop machines?

No idea, it's a hypothesis, not reality

It was a rhetorical question, meaning the same logic would also apply to desktop machines.

@mad73923 That only works on iOS not android. The option isn't there on android.
