Pairing
Overview
OpenClaw implements an explicit owner approval step called pairing to control access in two contexts:
- Direct Message channels
- Node devices connecting to the gateway network
DM Pairing (Inbound Chat Access)
When configured with pairing policy, unknown senders receive a code before message processing occurs.
Key Characteristics
- Code format: 8 characters, uppercase, no ambiguous chars (
0O1I) - Expiration: Codes last one hour
- Request limits: Capped at 3 pending requests per channel by default
