Bridge Tokens

The Live bridge runs outside the browser, so it cannot use your normal signed-in session. It authenticates with a bridge token instead — a long-lived credential you create, paste into the bridge's config, and revoke when you no longer need it.

Tokens are managed from Settings → Bridge.

Creating a token

Create a token from the settings page and it is displayed once, at the moment of creation. Copy it then.

The server never stores the token itself, only a cryptographic hash of it. That means nobody — including the Jam Club operators — can retrieve or display your token again afterwards. If you lose it, the fix is to revoke it and create a new one.

Using a token

The settings page gives you a ready-made configuration snippet to paste into the bridge's config file at ~/.fluento/config. That is the whole setup: the bridge reads the token from there and connects as you.

Revoking a token

Revoke a token from the same page and it stops working immediately. Do this if:

• You are no longer using the bridge on a given machine.
• You pasted a token somewhere it should not have gone.
• You are handing a machine to somebody else.

Revoking one token has no effect on any others, so you can safely run several — one per machine — and retire them individually.

Good practice

Create a separate token per machine rather than reusing one everywhere. It costs nothing, and it means losing a laptop is a single revocation rather than a scramble to re-key everything you own.
