Bug Description

on the /account/machines/ page, it lists machine tokens of some sort instead of human readable names. I think this should default to hostname instead, and all renaming of it via the web Ui. Of course behind the scenes it should be tokens, but when I view it on the website I have no idea which machine is nCRL7sNR7Vqr7nVgmlTC

Thanks again for the bug report, I had a problem with this just yesterday (trying to figure out which token I was removing).

Is there a way to know the current computer "name" for a given machine?

Same in my opinion. This is an important issue!
It's impossible to guess which token represents which machine.

Reassigning to jblount. We discussed this the other day. The client is sending the machine name, but the site isn't displaying it for some reason. It's displaying they hash instead. The site also needs an entry to specify the name, with the default being the value we pass in from the client, during the Outh access token granting.

This is already solved. You can now give names to the computers when
registering them.
