# Plex Auth Token

Here is a way of obtaining a Plex Access Token for your Plex account.

## Saltbox Role

You will need your Plex credentials filled in `~/saltbox/accounts.yml`. If you already do, skip steps 2-4.

1. Go to the Saltbox folder:

    ```shell
    cd ~/saltbox/
    ```

2. Open the file for editing:

    ```shell
    nano accounts.yml
    ```

3. Fill in your Plex credentials:

    ```yaml
    plex:
      user:
      pass:
    ```

4. Save and exit: <kbd class="platform-all">Ctrl + X</kbd> <kbd class="platform-all">Y</kbd> <kbd class="platform-all">Enter</kbd>.

5. Run the following command:

    ```shell
    sb install plex-auth-token
    ```

6. You will be shown your Plex Access Token in the log:

    ```shell
    TASK [plex_auth_token : Display Plex Auth Token]
