Sign in and add devices

Sign in to your Box on any phone or computer, with your password or a 6-digit pairing code.

You need to be on the same Wi-Fi as your Box. Away from home? See Reach your Box from anywhere. No password yet? Start with Set up your Box.

Sign in with your password

1. In a web browser, go to box.local.
2. On the Password tab, type your Box password.
3. Tap Sign in.

The chat screen opens. That browser stays signed in for up to a year.

Add a device with a pairing code

No password needed on the new device, just one device that is already signed in.

On the signed-in device

1. Open box.local and tap Settings at the top right, then Settings in the menu.

2. Tap Pair a device (on a phone, the list is at the top).

3. Keep the 6-digit code on screen.

On the new device

1. In a web browser, go to box.local.
2. Tap the Pairing code tab.
3. Type the 6 digits and tap Pair this device.

Each code lasts 5 minutes and works once.

If something goes wrong

• "That password isn't right." Ignore the hint about the sticker: use the password you set, and check capitals.
• "That pairing code isn't valid (or expired)." Mistyped, already used, or over 5 minutes old. Refresh Pair another device for a new code.
• "Locked for 60s" or "Try again in 45s". Too many wrong tries. Wait the time shown; repeated misses make the wait longer.
• Asked to sign in again. Sign-in belongs to the browser. A different browser, a private window, or cleared cookies needs a fresh sign-in.
• Changed your password. Devices already signed in stay signed in; only new ones need it. See Change your password.
• New device is on the Box's setup Wi-Fi. Go to 192.168.4.1 instead of box.local.
• box.local won't open. See Troubleshooting.
• Forgot your password. If a device is still signed in, pair new devices from it. Otherwise email michael.maddison@voxcura.io. See Change your password.
