# Helix 1.15.0: Quickly connect an auth service

> When you name any service Helix supports, `helix auth connect --new <service>` now opens the dashboard straight to that service's authentication form.

- Released: 21 Oct 2026 (2026-10-21)
- Packages: @trayai/helix-cli@1.15.0

## Headline changes

### Changed: `helix auth connect --new <service>` pre-selects the service

Run `helix auth connect --new anthropic` and the create-authentication link opens straight to Anthropic's form in the dashboard, instead of the service picker where you would choose it again after naming it. It works with any service Helix supports; if Helix doesn't recognize the name, the link opens the picker as before.
