Sign in from the editor

The editor signs in with a short code you approve in your browser, so there is no token to copy. The issued token is saved in Windows Credential Manager, never in the project’s config files, and the editor stays signed in across restarts.

Sign in with your browser

You can start sign-in from three places. They all run the same flow:

• The Sign in with browser button on the Sign in to Prophouse screen of the Prophouse or Prophouse Browser panel.
• The Sign in with browser button in the Account section of Edit → Editor Preferences → Plugins → Prophouse.
• The Sign in with browser link on the Connect this editor to Prophouse to pull assets. notification that appears a few seconds after launch while the editor is signed out.

1. Click Sign in with browser. A notification reads Prophouse: opening your browser to sign in… and your browser opens the approval page.

2. The notification then shows Approve code <code> in your browser — waiting.... Check that the code in the browser matches, and approve the request. It is listed as Unreal Editor on <your computer name>.

3. Return to the editor. The notification changes to Signed in — token saved to Windows Credential Manager. and the panels load.

If you deny the request in the browser, or wait until the code expires, the notification says so and you can start again.

Sign-in uses the Server URL setting, which defaults to https://api.prophouse.dev. Leave it as it is.

Check the connection

The Prophouse panel header shows a dot and a short status:

Status	Meaning
Connected	Signed in and the server answered.
Checking…	The editor is still probing the server.
Session expired	The server rejected the saved token. Sign in again.
Unreachable	The server did not respond. Check your network and the Server URL setting.

Hover the status to see the server URL and this project’s key. The Account section of the settings page shows the same state in words, for example Signed in and connected. or Session expired — sign in again.

Sign out

Click Sign out in the Account section of Editor Preferences → Plugins → Prophouse. This removes the token from the editor and from Windows Credential Manager. To revoke the sign-in on the server as well, remove it from the Prophouse web app.

Use an API key instead

For a machine where you cannot use a browser, you can paste a key by hand:

1. Create a key on the API keys page of your dashboard at https://app.prophouse.dev/keys. Keys look like ph_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx.

2. In Editor Preferences → Plugins → Prophouse → Server, paste it into API Token.

The field is a password field. The value is written to Windows Credential Manager, not to config.

Note

The editor’s sign-in covers browsing the catalog, creating and claiming imports, and library processing. File transfers run through the desktop app, which has its own sign-in. Sign in there too. See Install the desktop app.
