Provider accounts

Record which provider login owns each key, link one account to several projects, and record how you sign in to it.

A provider account is one login you have with a provider, such as a Vercel team or a Supabase login. Every item can point to the account that owns it, so you always know which login to use to fix something. This page covers the Accounts page and how one account can serve several projects.

#What an account holds

  • Provider, chosen from the catalog.
  • Sign-in email or username.
  • Org or team (optional).
  • How you sign in: Not recorded, Password, Sign in with Google, Sign in with GitHub, Sign in with Microsoft, Sign in with Apple or Company SSO. For the Google, GitHub, Microsoft and Apple options you can link the account you sign in through, if it is also in StackHangar.
  • What's in it: names only, such as sending domains, sites or databases.
  • An optional plan, limits and billing details. See Plans, limits and costs.

Account details are encrypted on your device like everything else.

#Add an account

  1. Open Accounts and select Add account.
  2. Choose the Provider and enter the Sign-in email or username.
  3. Optionally add Org or team (optional) and How you sign in.
  4. Select Add account.

If you have a business recorded, the form can also offer Registered under a business. See Business profile.

You can also add an account while adding an item. The item form asks which account owns the key, with a choice to add a new one.

#Read the Accounts page

Accounts are grouped by Provider or by Sign-in. Use Group by to switch.

  • Grouped by provider, a provider with more than one account shows a count and a reminder to sign in to the right one.
  • Grouped by sign-in, accounts that share an email address sit together, with a note that losing that address locks you out of all of them.

Each account shows its projects, a count of what it holds, its plan and limits, and buttons to View items, Edit, History and Delete.

#One account across several projects

An account's projects come from two places: the items that point to it, and projects you link to it directly. One account can therefore serve several projects without being entered twice. When it does, the account shows Shared by 2 projects (or however many).

  • On the Accounts page, use + Add to project to link another project, or the × next to a project to remove a direct link.
  • On a project page, the Accounts used tab lets you Link an existing account… or Add a new account.
  • A project that still has items using the account can't be unlinked. Move or delete those items first.

#Delete an account

Select Delete on the account. You can only delete an account that no item uses. If items still use it you'll be told to move or delete them first. Deleted accounts can be restored from Recently deleted for 30 days.

#Open an item's account

On an item page, the Account row links to the account and lists Also used by other projects.

#History

History shows earlier versions of the account from the last 30 days. See History.
