# Sign in with Google, GitHub, Discord or Microsoft

You can sign up for SunLicense and sign in to the dashboard with your Google, GitHub, Discord or Microsoft account
instead of a password. Choose **Continue with GitHub** (or another) on the
[sign-in](https://app.sunlicense.com/login) or [sign-up](https://app.sunlicense.com/signup) page, or on
[sunlicense.com/start](https://sunlicense.com/start).

* **No account yet:** you get a new account and organization on the Free plan, named after your email address (rename
  it in onboarding). If the provider has verified your email address, you don't need to confirm it again. Microsoft
  accounts are the exception: you'll get the usual "confirm your email" message.
* **Already have an account with the same email:** Google, GitHub and Discord accounts whose email the provider has
  verified are connected to it automatically, and we email you that a new sign-in method was added. Otherwise
  (a Microsoft account, an email the provider hasn't verified, or a SunLicense account whose email you never confirmed)
  sign in with your password once and connect the provider under **Settings → Account → Sign-in methods**.
* **Guest accounts:** a guest account a coding agent made for you ([guest accounts](./guest-accounts)) can be claimed
  with a provider too: open the claim link and choose **Continue with …**.

## Manage your sign-in methods

**Settings → Account → Sign-in methods** lists your password and every connected account, with when you last used
each.

* **Connect** another provider: you go to the provider, approve, and come back to Settings.
* **Remove** one you no longer use. You can't remove your last way to sign in: set a password or connect another
  account first.
* **Set a password** (accounts made with a provider have none): we email you a link to choose one, the same as
  "Forgot password?".

Your sign-in methods are your account's, so they work in every organization you belong to.

## The CLI

`sunlicense login` signs in with an email and password. If your account has no password, either set one (above) or
create a personal access token under **Settings → Access tokens** and run:

```bash
echo "$TOKEN" | sunlicense login --with-token
```

## What the provider shares

Your account ID at the provider, its email address and whether it's verified, and your display name. We never see your
password there, never post anything for you, and don't keep the provider's access token. See the
[privacy policy](/legal/privacy).

## Not covered

Single sign-on for a whole company (SAML or your own identity provider), Apple and passkeys aren't available yet. The
system admin console keeps its own password and authenticator code, and the [customer portal](./customer-portal) has
its own "Sign in with Discord" for your customers.
