Short version: no, there is not a global “approve all devices forever” switch for remote devices.

A few useful gotchas:

Local browser on 127.0.0.1 / localhost is auto-approved
Tailnet/LAN/remote devices still need explicit pairing
Once approved, the device is normally remembered
You get asked again if the device ID/auth details changed or you switched/cleared the browser profile

Quick checks:

openclaw --version
openclaw devices list

Approve the current request with:

#

openclaw devices approve <requestId>

If this is the Control UI in a browser, try opening it locally on:

http://127.0.0.1:18789

instead of a tailnet/LAN URL, that avoids pairing prompts on same-host setups.
