# Helix 0.85.0: Browser sign-in by default

> `helix login` signs you in through your browser unless you ask for something else. The Chrome-session and pasted-token flow is still there behind a flag.

## Headline changes

### Changed: `helix login` signs you in through your browser by default

Browser sign-in arrived in 0.80.0 behind `--method oauth`; it is now what you get by running `helix login` with no flags. Nothing is copied by hand, so a token never passes through your clipboard or your shell history. The previous flow remains available as `helix login --method chrome`.
