OAuth Sign-In

CleverThis supports signing in with Google and GitHub in addition to email and password. OAuth sign-in is faster (no password to remember) and inherits the security of your Google or GitHub account, including any two-factor authentication you have set up there.

When you sign in with OAuth for the first time, CleverThis creates a new account linked to your OAuth provider and email address. If an account already exists with the same email address (e.g. you previously signed up with email/password), CleverThis automatically links the OAuth identity to your existing account. Subsequent sign-ins with either method reach the same account.

Sign in with Google​

  1. Navigate to the CleverThis sign-in page.
  2. Click Continue with Google.
  3. Select or enter your Google account.
  4. Grant CleverThis the requested permissions (email address and basic profile).
  5. You are redirected to the CleverThis Dashboard.

Sign in with GitHub​

  1. Navigate to the CleverThis sign-in page.
  2. Click Continue with GitHub.
  3. If not already signed in to GitHub, enter your credentials.
  4. Click Authorize to grant CleverThis access to your public profile and email.
  5. You are redirected to the CleverThis Dashboard.

Disconnecting an OAuth provider​

You can disconnect a linked OAuth provider from Settings → Security (this feature is being added). If you disconnect a provider that is your only sign-in method, you must set a password first.

Coming soon

Disconnecting individual OAuth providers and linking additional providers to an existing account are being added to the Security settings page.
