Linked accounts and sign-in

You can link GitHub, X, and Discord to your Blazium Games account and then use any of them to log in. Linking is managed at Settings > Linked accounts.

Before you start​

  • Signing in with GitHub, X, or Discord does not open a session by itself. You finish with your Blazium Games password and a second step.
  • If that service is already linked, you enter your password. With an authenticator app set up, you enter its current code (a recovery code works once). Without one, we email a code immediately, and you can send another 30 seconds later.
  • If it is not linked, and GitHub or Discord gives a verified email that already belongs to an account, you enter that account's password. A match links the service, then you do the second step. A wrong password links nothing and creates nothing.
  • If it is not linked and there is no matching verified email, you choose a username, email, and password, confirm a code sent to that inbox, then set up an authenticator app or skip it and confirm another emailed code. The account and the link are created only after the inbox code matches. X does not provide an email, so that path always starts with the email you type.
  • Each GitHub, X, or Discord account can be linked to only one Blazium Games account.
  • Linking from Settings, while you are already signed in, only attaches the service. It does not create an account.
  1. Log in to blazium.games.
  2. Open Settings > Linked accounts (also in the header menu as Linked accounts).
  3. Click Link next to GitHub, X, or Discord.
  4. Approve Blazium Games on the other service.
  5. You return to Linked accounts with "Name account linked." The row now shows Linked as @username and the date.

A provider marked Not available can't be linked.

Log in with a linked account​

  1. On the Log in page, or in the header when you are logged out, click GitHub, X, or Discord.
  2. Approve Blazium Games on the other service if it asks.
  3. Enter your Blazium Games password. If the service is not linked yet and its verified email matches an account, that password links it. Otherwise you set a username, email, and password and confirm the code we email.
  4. If an authenticator app is set up, enter its current code. If you skip setup, or none is recorded, enter the code we email. You can ask for another code 30 seconds after the last one.

A browser that has verified an emailed code is remembered for 30 days for email-and-password sign-in when no authenticator app is set up. It does not skip the password, an authenticator code, or the second step of a GitHub, X, or Discord sign-in. Authenticator setup, recovery codes, and what happens after sign-in are in Account security and sign-in. A verified email from GitHub or Discord can be shown on the create form and is compared with existing accounts. It is not saved on its own, and we do not copy your name or avatar. X does not provide an email.

  1. Open Settings > Linked accounts.
  2. Click Unlink next to the account.

Once unlinked, that account can no longer be used to log in. If your Blazium Games account has no password, you cannot unlink the last linked account. Set a password or link another account first.

Revoke access on the other service​

You can remove Blazium Games from the other service at any time:

Revoking there does not unlink the account here. Unlink it at Linked accounts as well if you want to stop it logging in.

What we store​

For each linked account we keep its user ID and username, so it can log in and the settings page can show which one is linked. A verified email from GitHub or Discord is compared while you sign in and is not saved on its own. X does not provide an email. We never store access tokens, and we do not copy your name or avatar.

The details for each service:

Deleting your Blazium Games account unlinks all of them. See the Privacy Policy.
