## Linking Your Device

Before you can use the Pipeline mobile app, you need to link it to your account. There are two ways to sign in.

### Method 1: Email and Password

1. Open the Pipeline app
2. Enter your **email address** and **password**
3. Tap **Sign In**

### Method 2: 16-Digit Activation Code

Your administrator can generate an activation code for your device from the web portal.

2. Tap **Use activation code** to switch to code entry
3. Enter the 16-digit code in the grid (you can also paste the full code)
4. Tap **Link My Account**
5. A success message confirms your device is linked

### Switching Methods

You can switch between email/password and activation code sign-in by tapping the link at the bottom of the login screen.

### After Linking

Once linked, the app downloads your job data and you are taken to the Jobs list. Your login persists until you explicitly log out from Settings.
