Accounts, sign-in & recovery

You only need an account for the cloud half — the Director, generation, sync, and server-rendered masters. The manual editor is free, offline, and account-less.

Signing in

Email one-time code. We send a short code to your inbox — no password to choose or forget.
Google sign-in. Sign in with your Google account in one step — no code to type.
Add a passkey. Once you’re in, turn on a passkey on the device you work from. It makes sign-in faster and phishing-resistant — and it is required before anything can spend credits.

Why a passkey is required to spend

The email code gets you in, and an email-code session is enough to edit, sync, and browse your account. But anything that spends — approving a generation, using the AI Director — is gated behind a passkey. On an email-code session spending is refused and you’ll be asked to add a passkey first. Exporting or deleting your account data asks for a passkey or a fresh code we email to your account’s address.

That is deliberate: an emailed code is only as strong as your inbox, and we would rather not let whoever reaches your inbox spend your balance.

Recovery

Signing in with an email one-time code always works, on any device. Without a passkey, that session can edit and sync but cannot spend credits or run the Director.

If you have lost every device that held a passkey, request a passkey reset. It waits before it does anything, so that someone who gets into your inbox cannot take over your account’s spending:

Sign in with an email code, open your account, and under SIGN-IN & SECURITY choose I lost every device with a passkey.
Type your account email and choose Request the reset.
We email the account at once, so anyone who still has access can stop it. Until the reset completes nothing changes, and anyone with a passkey — or with this email — can cancel it.
After 7 days, every passkey on the account is removed, and you can add a new one from that session. The wait is longer if a reset on this account was cancelled recently; the confirmation tells you the date before you request it.

Spending stays locked until a new passkey exists. You can still export your data or delete your account in the meantime: both take a fresh code we email to your account’s address.
