Signing in with Google
You can sign in to Devchaos with your Google account too. Connecting Google, disconnecting it and adding a password to your account all happen under Settings › My account on devchaos.com.
Signing up and in with Google
On the sign-in or sign-up page, press Continue with Google. An account opened with Google arrives with its address confirmed. Your username is made from your name or email, and your profile picture is one of Devchaos's ready pictures; your Google photo isn't used.
The app's sign-in screen has no Google button: press Continue with devchaos.com, sign in with Google in your browser and press Let it in.
Connect Google
In Settings › My account, press Connect Google in the Google row and choose your Google account. Its email address has to be the same as your Devchaos address.
Disconnect it
Disconnect in the same row removes Google sign-in. Your account needs a password for that; otherwise you couldn't get in.
Add a password to your account
If you have no password, press Set a password in the Password row and type one of at least 8 characters twice. From then on you can also sign in with your email and password, including in the form on the app's sign-in screen.
Something went wrong?
It says “For this, sign in again first”.
It's been a while since you last signed in. Sign out, sign in again and retry. Or ask for a link with Forgot your password? on the sign-in page; the password you choose there is added to your account.
It says “Couldn't disconnect: set a password first”.
Google is your only way in right now. Add a password with Set a password first, then disconnect.
I signed in with Google and got an empty account.
Your Google account uses a different address from your Devchaos one, so a new account was opened. Sign out and sign in with your email and password. You can delete the account you don't want under Settings › Close your account.
