Password

Connected Accounts

Link social and developer accounts for sign-in and cross-posting. Go to Settings → Security (or the Connected Accounts section) to link or unlink any of the following:

• GitHub — Sign in with your GitHub account. If you want to use GitHub-backed lists (lists that sync with GitHub Issues), you must connect with the Issues scope. If you already linked GitHub for sign-in only, click Reconnect for GitHub Issues in the Connected Accounts section to grant the additional scope.
• Mastodon — Connect your Mastodon account. Once linked, you can select which Mastodon instances to cross-post to when composing a message.
• Bluesky — Connect your Bluesky account. Once linked, you can cross-post messages to Bluesky.
• LinkedIn — Connect your LinkedIn account for cross-posting (when LinkedIn is enabled on this instance).

Once a social account is linked, you can also use it to sign in. Cross-posting requires a subscriber account.

Email Verification

You must verify your email before posting messages or attaching media. If you did not receive the verification email, click Resend verification email in the Security section. You can resend once every 10 minutes.

Forgot Password

If you are locked out, use the Forgot password link on the login page. Enter your email address and a reset link will be sent.
