Authentication

After installing the extension, the sidebar shows a welcome screen with two authentication options.

Login with DevSpeak Account (OAuth)

Click Login with DevSpeak Account to open a browser window. Sign in with your Google or GitHub account — the same credentials you use at [devspeak.dev](https://www.devspeak.dev).

Once authenticated, the browser will redirect back and the extension will receive a session token automatically. No manual copy-paste required.

Login with API Key

If you prefer key-based authentication:

1. Go to [devspeak.dev](https://www.devspeak.dev) → Settings → API Keys.

2. Generate a new key (format: dsk_live_…).

3. In VS Code, click Login with API Key and paste the key.

API key login is available on the Developer tier and above.

Session Management

Your session persists across VS Code restarts.

To sign out, run DevSpeak: Logout from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).

To switch accounts, log out first, then log in with a different method.

Verifying Authentication

After a successful login, the sidebar transitions from the welcome screen to the full translation panel with your subscription tier badge, refinement count, and remaining quota visible at the top.
