How do I link Google or remove a sign-in method?

On Account → Profile → Connected accounts you can link Google to an account made with a password, or disconnect either Google or the email method — LUVI keeps at least one method active so you can always sign in.

Linking Google

  1. Sign in with your email and password.
  2. Open Account → Profile and find Connected accounts.
  3. Press Connect next to Google and choose the Google account that uses the same email address.

From then on either method opens the same account.

Disconnecting a method

In the same section, press Disconnect next to Google or Email and confirm in the dialog. LUVI refuses to remove the last remaining method — you always keep at least one.

When you disconnect the email method, LUVI also clears the password, so a password sign-in cannot succeed by accident. If you later want email sign-in back, use Forgot password on the sign-in window: the reset link lets you set a new password and the method is active again.

Two Google accounts, one LUVI account?

Only one Google identity can be linked, and it must carry the email of your LUVI account. A different Google address is a different account.

Frequently asked

Why can't I disconnect my last method?

Because you would have no way to sign in. Link the other method first, then disconnect the one you want to drop.

I removed email sign-in. Can I get it back?

Yes. Use Forgot password on the sign-in window; setting a new password restores email sign-in.

Does linking Google merge two accounts?

No. It adds Google as a second way into the account you are signed in to. Credits and projects do not move between accounts.
