Me! 😄

I actually posted a duplicate suggestion:

> Hi, it would be useful to have in the Plex mobile app (I use the Android one) the ability to link new devices, instead of going to [https://plex.tv/link](https://plex.tv/link). As a bit of background, I got the idea because of this issue of mine: The rationale is that normally apps are always logged on, but websites needs authentication (for cybersecurity hygiene, browsers are often set to clean cache / not save credentials). This way the device linking would be faster and handy. Thank you!
