# Signing in and accounts

> Sign in with Google, GitHub or a one-time email code, and review your Terms edition.

Use the sign-in method available for your Mythos account: Google, GitHub or a one-time email code.
Choose the same identity you used before to return to your existing workspace.

## Sign in

#### Open Mythos

Choose **Log in**, or use the available account-creation flow.

#### Verify your identity

Continue through Google or GitHub, or enter your email address and the six-digit code sent to it.
Using GitHub to sign in is separate from [connecting a repository](/integrations/github).

#### Complete two-factor verification if enabled

Enter the current six-digit code from a verified authenticator before continuing.
If you added a backup authenticator, you can choose it on the verification screen.

#### Review Terms when asked

If your account has no recorded Terms acceptance, Mythos shows the exact edition for you to review.
Choose **Accept and continue** to accept it and proceed. Sign-in alone does not record acceptance.
If saving your choice fails, the screen remains available so you can retry.

#### Continue to your workspace

Mythos resumes your destination or pending project prompt after the required steps complete.

## Protect your account

Personal two-factor authentication is available on every plan in **Account → Security**.
Choose **Enable**, add the setup code to an authenticator app, and verify the current code.
Add a backup authenticator on another device before replacing your first device.
Mythos does not currently issue recovery codes. If you lose access to every verified
authenticator, contact support; a request does not automatically bypass identity checks.

[Privacy and security settings](/introduction/privacy-security) explains workspace controls,
account exports and account closure.

## Existing accounts and updated Terms

A previous Terms record is preserved. When a new edition is available, an existing account can review
and accept it voluntarily. The publication date is separate from any individual advance-notice period;
see [Policy changes and versions](/legal/changes).

## If you cannot sign in

* **The code has not arrived:** check spam, wait briefly and request a fresh code. Use the newest code.
* **The provider did not return to Mythos:** allow the redirect and try once more.
* **Your account or Terms edition changed while the screen was open:** reload to review the correct
  account and edition before accepting.
* **A Terms record cannot be read or saved:** retry when the service is available. The product does not
  invent an acceptance timestamp.
* **Your session expired:** sign in again. Session expiry does not delete your projects.

Contact [Mythos support](/reference/support-policy) if access is unexpectedly unavailable.
