Account Setup
This guide covers creating your Hydron account, signing in, and connecting external accounts.
Creating an account
To create a new Hydron account:
- Go to the registration page
- Enter your email address and a strong password
- Complete the verification captcha
- Click Create Account
- Check your email for a verification link
- Click the link to verify your email
Your account comes with free credits to try out the platform.
Signing in
Email and password
- Go to the login page
- Enter your email and password
- If two-factor authentication is enabled, enter your 2FA code
- Click Sign In
OAuth sign-in
You can also sign in with your existing accounts:
- Google — Sign in with your Google account
- GitHub — Sign in with your GitHub account
If you sign in with OAuth and an account with the same email already exists, you'll be prompted to link the accounts.
Connecting OAuth accounts
Link your Google or GitHub accounts to enable:
- Quick sign-in — No need to remember a separate password
- Repository access — Import private repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
- Single sign-on — Use the same identity across services
To connect an OAuth account:
- Go to Settings > Connected Accounts
- Click Connect next to Google or GitHub
- Authorize Hydron in the OAuth provider
- Your account is now linked
You can connect multiple providers to the same Hydron account.
To disconnect an OAuth account:
- Go to Settings > Connected Accounts
- Click Disconnect next to the provider
- Confirm the disconnection
Make sure you have a password set before disconnecting all OAuth providers, or you won't be able to sign in.
Email verification
Email verification is required to access all features. If you haven't verified your email:
- Check your inbox for the verification email
- Click the verification link
- If you don't see it, check your spam folder
- Request a new verification email from the login page
Password reset
If you've forgotten your password:
- Go to the forgot password page
- Enter your email address
- Check your email for a reset link
- Click the link and enter a new password
Password reset links expire after a set time period for security.
