The author gives (fairly) brief proofs of the following known results on automorphisms of quaternions and octonions: (ia) Every automorphism of the real quaternions is inner and (ib) two non-zero pure imaginary elements of the same norm are conjugate. (ii) Over the complex quaternions (ib) also holds. (iii) Over the split Cayley algebra (complex octonions) (ib) holds with two elements, i.e. given \(a\), \(b\) nonzero pure imaginary of the same norm, there exist \(p\), \(q\) such that \(b= q(pap^{-1})q^{-1}\).
