# Helix 0.80.0: Browser sign-in arrives

> `helix login --method oauth` signs you in through your browser using OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. The default login method is unchanged in this release.

- Released: 29 Jul 2026 (2026-07-29)
- Packages: @trayai/helix-cli@0.80.0, @trayai/helix-sdk@0.80.0

## Headline changes

### Added: `helix login --method oauth` signs you in through your browser

OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, so no token is pasted by hand. The default is unchanged here and still uses your Chrome session or a pasted token; browser sign-in became the default in 0.85.0. Browser sign-ins currently expire after about an hour.
