Signing in and passwords

You sign in to Syncek with a Google account, a GitHub account, or an email address and password. If you forget the password, Forgot password? on the sign-in page emails you a link to set a new one. Once you are in, Settings, then Personal, then Security is where you change the password, and Devices lists every browser signed in to your account so you can sign any of them out.

To add a second step to signing in, see Two-step verification.

Ways to sign in

The sign-in page offers Google and GitHub first, then Email and Password. Google and GitHub open in a pop-up window, so allow pop-ups for Syncek if nothing happens. Linked accounts, on your Profile, shows which ways your account uses.

Signing in with Google does not connect your Gmail. Syncek reads and sends email only from a mailbox you connect separately, in Settings, then Personal, then Integrations. See Connect Gmail.

To sign out, open the workspace menu at the top of the sidebar and choose Log out.

If you forgot your password

1. On the sign-in page, click Forgot password?, enter your email and click Send reset link.
2. Syncek shows the same "Check your email" page whether or not the address has an account, so it never reveals who has signed up. If yours has one, an email titled "Reset your Syncek password" arrives.
3. Open its link, type the new password twice and click Reset password. Then sign in with it.

If the link no longer works, the page says so and offers Request a new reset link.

Password rules

A password needs at least 8 characters, with a lowercase letter, an uppercase letter, a number and a special character. The form ticks each rule off as you type and keeps its button off until all five pass.

Changing your password

In Settings, then Personal, then Security, the Password section asks for your Current password, a New password and Confirm new password, then Update password. It appears only on an account that has a password: if you sign in only with Google or GitHub, there is none to change.

Changing your password leaves your other devices signed in. To sign them out, use Devices.

Devices

Settings, then Personal, then Devices lists every session signed in to your account, one row each, with the browser and system, the location or IP address, and Created and Updated dates. Yours is marked Current.

• The menu at the end of a row has Finish, which signs that session out. On Current, it signs you out here.
• Sign out, beside "Sign out of all devices including this one.", signs every session out, this one included, and returns you to the sign-in page.
