# Signing in & accounts

> Sign in to Mythos with Google, GitHub, or a one-time email code. Accounts run on Supabase Auth; new accounts get 5 free credits on first confirmation.

You sign in to Mythos in one of three ways: a **Google** account, a **GitHub** account, or a
**one-time code sent to your email**. There are no passwords to set or remember. Accounts run on
Supabase Auth, so there is nothing to configure.

<Note>**Free credits:** when you confirm a new account, Mythos grants you **5 free credits**
automatically — enough to cover your first build (3 credits). See
[Credits & pricing](/introduction/credits-and-usage).</Note>

## Why sign in

A Mythos account is what ties your projects, your credits, and your project repositories together.
You need an account before you can build, because every project is created under your identity. (Each
project lives in a private repository you can export to your own GitHub once you connect a GitHub
account.)

## Sign-in options

All three create or open the same account if they share an email.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Google">
    Sign in with your Google account. Mythos uses Google's standard OAuth — you approve access on
    Google's screen and return signed in. Your Google profile photo becomes your avatar.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="GitHub">
    Sign in with your GitHub account through GitHub's standard OAuth. Approve on GitHub and return
    signed in.

    <Note>Signing in **with** GitHub is separate from the per-project GitHub repository Mythos creates
    for your code. Signing in is just how you log in; the repos are created for you regardless of how
    you signed in.</Note>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Email code">
    Enter your email and Mythos sends you a **6-digit one-time code**. Type the code back in to sign
    in. There is no password — each sign-in uses a fresh code.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Sign in

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the sign-in page">Go to the login or sign-up page from the Mythos site.</Step>
  <Step title="Choose a method">Pick **Continue with Google**, **Continue with GitHub**, or enter your **email** for a one-time code.</Step>
  <Step title="Confirm">For Google or GitHub, approve on their screen. For email, type the 6-digit code you receive.</Step>
  <Step title="Land on your dashboard">After your first confirmation, your 5 free credits are granted and you arrive at your dashboard, ready to build.</Step>
</Steps>

## Good to know

* **No passwords.** Mythos does not use password sign-in. You always sign in with Google, GitHub, or a
  fresh email code.
* **One account per email.** Signing in with Google and later with an email code that share the same
  address opens the same account.
* **The signup bonus is granted once**, when you confirm your account for the first time.
* **Email codes depend on email delivery.** A code can take a moment to arrive; check spam if it
  doesn't show up.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="My email code never arrived">Wait a minute and check your spam folder. If it still hasn't arrived, request a new code — each request sends a fresh 6-digit code. You can also sign in with Google or GitHub instead.</Accordion>
  <Accordion title="The Google or GitHub screen didn't return me to Mythos">Make sure pop-ups and redirects aren't blocked for the Mythos site, then try again. If you cancelled on the provider's approval screen, restart from the sign-in page.</Accordion>
  <Accordion title="I want to delete my account">You can delete your account from your account settings. Deletion removes your projects and account data; it is permanent.</Accordion>
