We're working on improvements to make it easier to join orgs as a user so you can add friends/colleagues, but for now treat them as the same object

When you get a chance to work on your login flow, I recommend giving users an opportunity to request the key rather than automatically showing it once only on the first screen.

I created the account from my phone, and don't have access to the dev tools I'd want to paste the key into. I can deal with it, but I don't know if I'll be able to regenerate the key if I lose it, I'd rather not store it on my phone, and I don't trust my accuracy in manually typing it in on my laptop while looking at my phone, so all the options feel not great. Again, not an actual roadblock, but still something I'd encourage fixing.

Edit added: Good thing I copied the key to my phone before writing this message. Jumping over to this page seems to have forced a refresh/logout on the ensure page in the other tab, so my token would (I think? maybe?) be lost at this point if I'd done it in the other order.
