Hello, You're right, the PIN needs to be generated in a device that's already linked to the account. I thought that with an ID/Password, one wouldn't need to have access to any other device in order to link a new one. I was wrong.
This feature was not very clear to me. I suggest to add an explanation of what the "Pin" is, in the ring client itself.
