## Accessing the Control UI

Click **"Open your OpenClaw"** from the Dashboard or Settings page. The gateway token is passed automatically via the URL hash — you'll be auto-authenticated.

## Device Pairing

New browser connections require a one-time pairing approval.

When you use the "Open your OpenClaw" button, the gateway token is included automatically. You may still need to approve the device on first connection.

<Warning>
  Each browser profile gets a unique device ID. Clearing browser data will require re-pairing.
</Warning>

See [OpenClaw docs: Device Pairing](https://docs.openclaw.ai/web/control-ui#device-pairing-first-connection) for details.
