WAYFARER GUIDE

Optional accounts. Clear controls.

Practical guidance for the current beta, with clear choices and honest limitations.

Create an account or sign in

Open My Account from the website. Enter your email address, then the short-lived code sent to it. The same flow creates a new account or signs in to an existing one. No account password is required.

One website account

The root website and accounts subdomain use the same account service. Secure cookies keep website sessions signed in across reloads, with renewal for up to 30 days. Desktop sync signs in separately.

Personal preferences

Account settings lets you save your display name, preferred dashboard section and reduced-motion choice. These account website preferences are distinct from browser profile preferences.

Devices and sessions

Rename devices you recognize or remove sessions you no longer use. Removing the current device signs you out. Device removal does not erase files already saved on a computer.

Profiles and sync

Your portable profile includes destinations, settings, skins and Home Port. Download or upload a profile from the dashboard. Enable desktop automatic sync in Settings > Account & sync. Conflicting changes require your choice. Profile sync is protected in transit by HTTPS but is not end-to-end encrypted.

Password vault

The separate vault requires a master passphrase. Import browser CSV exports locally, or keep an encrypted backup. A session PIN is temporary and held only in memory. Reloading requires the passphrase again. Forgotten passphrases cannot be recovered. Desktop autofill is not included.

Manage your data

The dashboard offers profile downloads, device management and account deletion. Deletion removes live account data, profiles and the encrypted vault; hosting backups expire separately. Email changes, passkeys and recovery methods are not yet available.
