Account & Security

Email Verification

Your email must be verified before you can post messages:

  1. Check your inbox for the verification email after signup
  2. Click the link in the email
  3. If you didn't receive it, go to Settings → Security and click Resend verification email
  4. Rate limit: You can resend once every 10 minutes

Password

  • Change password: Use Settings → Security to update your password
  • Forgot password: If you locked yourself out, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page. Enter your email; you'll receive a reset link.

Linked Identities (OAuth)

Connect accounts for sign-in and cross-posting:

  • GitHub: Sign in with your GitHub account. For GitHub-backed lists (lists that sync with GitHub Issues), you must connect with the Issues scope. If you linked GitHub for sign-in only, go to Settings → Security and click Reconnect for GitHub Issues.
  • Mastodon: Connect to your Mastodon instance (also used to cross-post messages)
  • Bluesky: Connect to your Bluesky account (also used to cross-post messages)

Go to Settings → Security (or the Connected Accounts section on the Settings page) to link or unlink identities. Once linked, you can sign in with those providers and cross-post messages to Mastodon and Bluesky when composing.

Private Account

If you enable Private Account in Settings:

  • New followers must request to follow you
  • You can approve or reject requests
  • Existing followers remain unchanged

Staying Secure

  • Use a strong, unique password
  • Keep your email address up to date
  • Review linked accounts periodically and remove any you no longer use
