Usage

Signing up & signing in

Registration, login, password resets and what happens to your session.

Creating an account

When the server has open registration, Create account walks you through two steps: credentials, then a display name (and optionally an avatar). Servers with consent enabled ask you to accept the terms and privacy policy — both readable in place. On a closed server, accounts come from an admin (provisioning) or an invite email.

New users get a short welcome wizard on first login — profile, language, and the communities open to join.

Signing in

Email + password. Sessions use short-lived tokens refreshed silently in the background; signing out ends the session everywhere in that browser. If you’re already signed in, /login just bounces you home.

Forgot your password?

Reset password sends a time-limited code to your email (requires the server to have mail configured); changing a known password happens in Preferences → Account.

Account deletion pending?

If you’ve requested deletion, signing in during the grace period shows a gate with the purge date and a one-click cancel deletion — after that, the account signs in normally again.
