Signing in

Sign in to your Origin Account with a passkey, or with a GitHub or Google account you linked. This page also explains passkey confirmations, which sensitive changes ask for even while you are signed in.

Before you start

You need an Origin Account. If you don’t have one yet, see creating an account.

Sign in with a passkey

1. Open auth.sourceorigin.dev/login. Opening your settings, or an app that signs in with Origin Auth, while signed out brings you here too.
2. Select Sign in with a passkey.
3. Your browser lists the passkeys it can use. Choose your account, then unlock the passkey with your fingerprint, face or PIN.

Origin Auth signs you in and goes on to where you were headed: the app, or your settings.

If your browser doesn’t list your passkey, as with a passkey on a security key or another device, sign in with your handle:

1. Select Use a handle instead.
2. Type your handle under Handle, then select Sign in with a passkey.
3. Your browser asks for one of that account’s passkeys.

Sign in with GitHub or Google

Once you have linked GitHub or Google to your account, select GitHub or Google on the sign-in page, under or continue with, and sign in there.

An app can ask for a passkey sign-in. Its sign-in page then says This app asks you to sign in with a passkey. and offers no provider.

Sign out

In your settings, select Sign out at the bottom of the sidebar. This ends your session in this browser, and the apps you used through it may sign you out too.

An app that signs you out sends you to Ready to sign out?: select Sign out, or Keep my session to stay signed in.

To sign out a device you don’t have with you, use devices.

Passkey confirmation

Some changes need you to have used your passkey in this browser within the last five minutes, even though you are signed in:

• changing your handle,
• adding or removing a passkey,
• linking or unlinking GitHub or Google,
• adding an email address, choosing your primary address, or removing one,
• registering an app in the developer console, or changing one,
• downloading your data or deleting your account.

Signing in with a passkey counts. Signing in with GitHub or Google never does.

If you haven’t used your passkey in the last five minutes, your browser asks for it as soon as you select the change’s button, which says Waiting for your passkey… meanwhile. Once you unlock it, the change goes ahead. The confirmation lasts five minutes from then, and only in this browser: using SourceOrigin doesn’t extend it.

Renaming a passkey, changing your display name or profile picture, signing out devices and removing an app’s access need no confirmation.

Troubleshooting

• “No active account has this handle.” Check the handle’s spelling. It may have changed: you sign in with the handle the account has now.
• “This passkey was removed from your account.” Use another of your passkeys.
• “You last confirmed this session with a passkey. Use your passkey to sign in again.” This browser’s session was confirmed with a passkey, so signing in again with GitHub or Google would weaken it. Sign in with your passkey.
• “The Origin Account linked to this provider account is disabled or has no passkey.” The account can’t be signed in to. Write to [email protected].
• The passkey button stays disabled. Your browser can’t use passkeys here. Open the page in a browser that supports them, with scripts allowed.
