Account & Login

Your CI Account at hub.ci.computer  is the cloud companion to Hub. It manages device pairing and remote access — separate from your local Hub admin password.

Creating an account

Visit hub.ci.computer  and sign up with your email.

Authentication methods

Your CI Account supports:

• Email + password (with mandatory email verification)
• Passkeys (WebAuthn) — passwordless sign-in with Face ID, Windows Hello, or a hardware key; add one under Account settings → Passkeys
• Two-factor authentication (TOTP) for password sign-ins

Passkeys apply to your CI Account only — your Hub’s local admin account is separate and stays available even without a CI Account.

Logging in

Use your email and password to open the dashboard at hub.ci.computer. From there you can:

• Add and manage paired Hub devices
• Generate pairing codes for new devices
• Enable the Cloudflare Gateway
• Expose apps with public URLs
• Install apps remotely on paired Hubs

Two accounts, two roles

You need both for full remote features, but Hub runs locally with only a Hub admin account.

Regenerating pairing codes

To add a new device or re-pair after a reset:

1. Sign in at hub.ci.computer 
2. Click Add Device
3. Name the device and copy the new 6-character code
4. Enter the code on your Hub (device registration page or during first-time setup)

Each code is single-use. Generate a fresh one if pairing fails.

Privacy

Your CI Account stores device metadata (name, online status, tunnel IDs) needed for connectivity. Your app data stays on your Hub — your CI Account does not access file contents, databases, or app logs.

Optional anonymous crash reporting on Hub is controlled locally in Settings and is off unless you enable it.

Account security

• Use a strong, unique password for your CI Account
• Hub admin and CI Account passwords should differ
• Reset Hub registration from Settings → Network & Connectivity if you suspect a compromised pairing

See Device Pairing for the full pairing flow.
