Manage how you sign in

Updated Oct 2026

Your Profile page lists every way you can sign in to PostSignOff. That’s your password plus Google, if you’ve connected it. You can set or change your password there, and add or remove Google.

Before you start

You always need at least one way to sign in. PostSignOff won’t let you remove your last one.
To remove a sign-in method, you must have signed in within the last 24 hours. If it’s been longer, sign out and back in first.
Your password always goes with your account’s email. That’s the address shown at the top of your Profile page. You can’t change that email.

Steps

Go to Settings, then select Profile.
Find the Sign-in methods section. It lists Email & password if you have one. It also lists Google if you’ve connected it. Each row shows the date you added it.

Set a password

Use this if you only sign in with Google and want a password too. PostSignOff emails you a link first. That way, only someone who can read your email can add a password.

In Connect another sign-in method, select Set a password. You only see it if you don’t have a password yet.
You see: “Check your email. We sent a link to (your email) to set your password. It expires in 1 hour.”
Open the email titled Set your PostSignOff password and select Set password.
The Set your password page opens. Enter a New password of at least 12 characters. Type it again in Confirm new password. Then select Save password.
You’re back on your Profile page. It says “Password set. You can now sign in with (your email) and your password.” Email & password now shows in Sign-in methods.

You also get an email titled A password was added to your PostSignOff account. Your Google sign-in keeps working.

What if you open the link on a device where you aren’t signed in? The sign-in page opens instead, with “Password saved. Sign in with your email and new password.” If you’re signed in to a different PostSignOff account, you see Password saved on the same page. Either way, the password belongs to the account the email went to.

Change your password

In Sign-in methods, find the Email & password row and select Change password.
You see: “Check your email. We sent a link to (your email) to change your password. It expires in 1 hour.”
Open the email titled Reset your password and select Reset password.
The Change your password page opens. Enter your new password twice, then select Save password.
You’re back on your Profile page with “Password changed.” You also get an email titled Your PostSignOff password was changed.

Didn’t get the email?

Check your spam or junk folder. Under the “Check your email” message there’s a Resend email button. It unlocks one minute after each send. Until then it counts down, like Resend in 42s.

Under the list, in Connect another sign-in method, select Connect Google. You only see it if you haven’t connected Google yet. If there’s nothing left to add, this section doesn’t show at all.
Your browser takes you to Google’s sign-in page. Sign in and approve access.
You come back to your Profile page. Google now shows in your Sign-in methods list.

On your Profile page, find the method in Sign-in methods.
Select Disconnect next to it.
The row disappears once it’s removed.

You can’t disconnect your only sign-in method. Its Disconnect button is grayed out.

If something goes wrong

“Set a password or connect another sign-in method first” or “Connect another sign-in method first”: This shows when you point at a grayed-out Disconnect button. That method is your only way to sign in. Add another way first, like a password or Google. Then you can remove this one.

“Too many attempts. Wait a few minutes and try again.”: You asked for too many password emails in a short time. Wait a few minutes. Then select Set a password or Change password again.

“Couldn’t send the email. Try again.”: The password email didn’t go out. Try again in a moment.

“That link is invalid or expired.”: The password link was already used, or it’s more than 1 hour old. Select Go to Profile and ask for a new one.

“For security, sign in again before removing a sign-in method.”: You signed in more than 24 hours ago. Sign out, sign back in, and try disconnecting again.

“Couldn’t remove that sign-in method. It may be your only way to sign in.”: The removal failed for some other reason. Refresh the page to see your current sign-in methods. Then try again.

“Couldn’t start linking. Please try again.”: Connecting didn’t start. Try again in a moment.

You come back from Google, but nothing new is listed. The connection didn’t go through, and right now no message tells you why. The most common cause is that the Google account already belongs to a different PostSignOff account. Sign in to that account and disconnect it there, or use a different Google account.

Forgot your password?

If you can’t sign in at all, use Forgot password? on the sign-in page. See Reset your password.
