To do this:

# Open the ''SSO Character Management'' screen ('''Character''' -> '''Manage ESI Characters''').

# Open the ''SSO Character Management'' screen ('''Character''' ➙ '''Manage ESI Characters''').

# Create a new character by clicking '''Add Character'''.

# A page will open in your default ~~browser - sign~~ in using your EVE Online account credentials.

# A page will open in your default browser—sign in using your EVE Online account credentials.

# Select the correct character from the list.

# Click '''Authorise'''.

If you are using a Mac, Mac OS security prevents the redirect back to the local server. In order to authenticate your characters, you'll need to manually copy your token.

To do this:

# Open the ''Pyfa Preferences'' window ('''Pyfa''' ➙ '''Preferences''').

# Click on the ''EVE SSO'' tab.

# In the ''Local Authentication'' section, choose '''Manual''' rather than '''Local Server'''

# Dismiss the Preferences window

# Open the ''SSO Character Management'' screen ('''Character''' ➙ '''Manage ESI Characters''').

# Create a new character by clicking '''Add Character'''.

# A page will open in your default browser—sign in using your EVE Online account credentials.

# Select the correct character from the list.

# Click '''Authorize'''.

# The web browser will redirect to a page that says "Please copy and paste the token below into pyfa."

# Copy the ESI token from the web page

# Switch back to Pyfa, paste the token into the ''SSO Login'' box and click ''OK''. You might not see this box because it launches underneath the ''SSO Character Management'' window. Simply drag the SSO Character management window out of the way and you should now see the SSO login box.

===Settings===

You should change your settings to match the images below. General settings are mostly personal preference, however the network settings are required for PYFA to query EVE-Central for prices.

To change settings go to '''Global''' -> '''Preferences''' or press Ctrl-P.

To change settings go to '''Global''' ➙ '''Preferences''' or press {{button|Ctrl}}+{{button|P}}.
