  5. Google / GitHub — sign in with your Google or GitHub account in one click — no separate password needed.

Activating a new account

After signing up with email, dev-doc shows the address the activation link was sent to. Open the email and click the link; the activation page confirms the account and you can sign in. No email? Check your spam folder.

Switching how you sign in

You can move from email to Google or GitHub (or between them) later, in Settings → Sign-in Method.

Sessions

For your security you are signed out after a period of inactivity. Sign in again and dev-doc takes you back to where you were.
