# DSH WebTokens — Desktop 0.2.2-rc.1 Adaptation: Integrate Logged-in Chrome DeepSeek Web into DeepSeek Harness Desktop ## Overview DeepSeek Harness Desktop is a desktop application that provides a convenient interface for interacting with the DeepSeek AI assistant. Sometimes, users already have an active login session in their Chrome browser for the DeepSeek web platform, and they want to leverage this existing session within the desktop app without having to log in again. This adaptation enables you to connect your logged-in Chrome DeepSeek web session to the DeepSeek Harness Desktop application using WebTokens. ## Prerequisites - A running instance of **DeepSeek Harness Desktop** (version 0.2.2-rc.1 or compatible) - **Chrome** browser with an active DeepSeek login session - Basic familiarity with browser developer tools ## Step 1: Obtain the WebToken from Chrome 1. Open **Chrome** and ensure you are logged into the DeepSeek web platform. 2. Navigate to the DeepSeek web interface (e.g., `https://deepseek.com`). 3. Open the **Developer Tools** by pressing `F12` or clicking the developer tools icon. 4. In Developer Tools, switch to the **Network** panel. 5. Look for a request that contains authentication tokens (typically in headers or response bodies). Common token names include: - `webtoken` - `access_token` - `auth_token` 6. Alternatively, check the browser's **Storage** section: - Switch to the **Storage** panel in Developer Tools. - Look under **Local Storage** or **Session Storage** for DeepSeek-related keys containing token values. Extract the relevant token value and save it for the next step. ## Step 2: Configure DeepSeek Harness Desktop 1. Launch **DeepSeek Harness Desktop**. 2. Locate the configuration area where web session tokens or authentication settings are defined. This may be a settings panel, a JSON config file, or an environment variable section depending on your setup. 3. Insert the extracted WebToken into the appropriate field: - If using a JSON configuration, it typically looks like: ```json { "webToken": "YOUR_EXTRACTED_TOKEN_HERE", "platform": "deepseek" } ``` 4. Save the configuration. ## Step 3: Verify the Connection 1. Restart **DeepSeek Harness Desktop** if the configuration requires it. 2. Attempt to interact with the DeepSeek assistant within the desktop app. 3. If the login session is successfully connected, you should see your existing user context without needing to log in again. ## Troubleshooting - **Token expired**: WebTokens may have a limited lifespan. If authentication fails, repeat Step 1 to obtain a fresh token. - **Incorrect token format**: Ensure the token value matches the expected format (usually a long alphanumeric string or JWT). - **Version mismatch**: Confirm that your DeepSeek Harness Desktop version is compatible with the WebToken format used by the current DeepSeek web platform. ## Notes - Keep your WebToken secure; it grants access to your logged-in DeepSeek session. - This adaptation is specifically targeted at the **0.2.2-rc.1** version of DeepSeek Harness Desktop. Adjust paths or config keys if using a different version.
