Linking the launcher
The launcher signs in through your browser the first time you run it:1
The launcher opens Discord
It sends you to
auth.seraph.si/v4/oauth/authorize, which hands you on to Discord’s own
consent screen.2
You approve
Discord asks whether Seraph may see who you are. Seraph never sees your Discord password
and never asks for one.

The launcher receives a session
Discord returns you to Seraph, the launcher exchanges the result for a token, and writes it
to
token.json in your Seraph folder.Linking a game
A game cannot catch a browser redirect the way the launcher can, so it uses a device code instead: it shows you a short code, you approve it wherever it is convenient, and the game waits.1
Run the command
2
Approve the code
Seraph opens auth.seraph.si/device for you, and clicking
the code in chat opens it with the code already filled in. Sign in with Discord if you are
not already, and confirm the code matches the one on your screen. The code is good for
15 minutes.

The game picks it up
The game is polling in the background and says
Signed in. Seraph is connected to this game.
as soon as you approve. Nothing needs restarting./seraph login again while one is waiting repeats the same code rather
than starting a rival sign-in, and signing a game in that was already signed in retires the session
it replaces.

Revoking a session takes effect immediately: the device holding it cannot renew, and its next
request fails. Anything signed out has to go through the flow again to come back.
token.json is your session. Seraph will never ask you for it, and no genuine support
process involves sending it to anyone. If you have shared it, or run a “Seraph” build from
somewhere that was not seraph.si, sign out every device from your account page straight away.Your Hypixel key is linked too
Your Hypixel API key is held on your Seraph account rather than in one install’s config:What each credential is
A Seraph API key is not a way to sign in, and a session token is not an API key. Neither is your
Discord account: revoking Seraph’s access from Discord’s own settings stops new sign-ins, but
existing sessions are ended from your account page.
