An older way to sign in a desktop app, where the app shows a confirmation code and the customer authorizes it on the dashboard. The current apps use the approval page instead, so a customer rarely meets this one.

An older path
The current Mac and Windows apps sign in through Approve a desktop app. This page belongs to an earlier way of signing in, in which the app showed a short code. It still works, and the dashboard still has the screen. A customer on a current app should not land here.
The page is called Connect the Haruno app.
How it works
The app opens the dashboard's sign-in with a code in the link. The dashboard remembers the code for that browser tab while the customer signs in with Google. Then it sends them to this page instead of to Usage.
The page when a code is waiting.
Read the code in the app
The app shows a confirmation code.
Compare it on the dashboard
The page says "Check this code matches the one shown in the Haruno app. If it doesn't — or you didn't start a sign-in — do not authorize."
Press Authorize the app
The page says "The app is connected." and "You can return to the Haruno app — it's now signed in. You can close this tab."
After Authorize the app.
The customer always has to press the button. Nothing is linked on its own.
When it does not work
If the code has run out or was used, the card shows a red box with "Invalid or expired desktop sign-in". Start the sign-in again in the app.
An expired code.
If the customer opens the page with no code waiting, it says "There's no desktop sign-in waiting. Start the sign-in from the Haruno app, then follow the link it opens." and offers Download for macOS.
