Before using Thunder Compute, you need to authenticate your account.

Log In

The extension may prompt you to log in automatically when you first install it. If not, open the command palette with Ctrl + Shift + P (or Cmd + Shift + P on macOS) and run:
Thunder Compute: Login
Your browser will open automatically to complete authentication via OAuth.

Log Out

Open the command palette and run:
Thunder Compute: Logout

Managing API Tokens

API tokens authenticate your CLI and extension access. You can manage them in the console.
  • Generate tokens: Create new tokens for each device or use case
  • Revoke tokens: Remove access for specific tokens without affecting others
  • Token persistence: Tokens never expire unless manually revoked
Use unique tokens for each device so you can revoke access individually if needed.

Adding a Payment Method

Before creating instances, you need a payment method on file. Visit the billing settings to add a credit card.
