How to log in with code

Updated:

 

This article explains how to log in to your Surfshark app on a new device using a temporary login code or QR code from a device where you're already logged in.

 

On the device you're not logged into

  1. Open the Surfshark app and select Logged in on another device?


     
  2. You'll see two options on this screen: a QR code to scan, or a 6-character login code.
    Keep this screen open — you'll need it until the login finishes. The code refreshes every few minutes. If it expires before you finish, just wait for a new one to generate:

 

On the device you're already logged into

Method 1: Enter code

  1. Open the Surfshark app and go to Settings:


     
  2. Tap My account:


     
  3. Select Enter login code:


     
  4. Type in the code shown on the new device and click Log in:


     
  5. Once submitted, the new device will log in automatically and you'll see a confirmation message.

    NOTE: You can also enter the login code into your browser instead of another device — go to the Surfshark account page, click My account, then Enter login code, input the code, and press Log in.

 

Method 2: Scan QR

  1. Open the Surfshark app.
  2. Use your device's camera or a QR scanner to scan the QR code shown on the new device.
  3. The new device will log in automatically, and you'll see a confirmation message once it's complete.
