This page covers everything about your Paylood account: sign up, login, OTP verification, social logins and password recovery.
Create an account
- Open app.paylood.com and click Create account.
- Enter your full name, email and a password (at least 8 characters).
- Click Create account.
A verification code (OTP) is sent to your email address.
OTP verification
After sign-up, a 6-digit code is emailed to you.
- Enter the code in the OTP verification form.
- The account is activated and you are logged in automatically.
The OTP code expires after a few minutes. If needed, use the Resend code link to receive a new one. Requests are rate-limited to prevent abuse.
Signing in
From app.paylood.com, click Sign in, then enter your email and password. If OTP verification is required (new device), the code will be asked again.
Social login
Paylood supports signing in with Google and GitHub:
- On the sign-in page, click Google or GitHub.
- Authorize access in the provider’s window.
- You are redirected to your dashboard automatically.
Tip
If you sign in with GitHub, the Git account is automatically linked to your Paylood profile — your repositories are immediately available to create projects.
Forgot your password?
- On the sign-in page, click Forgot password.
- Enter your email: a reset link is sent to you.
- Open the link and set a new password.
Updating your profile
Go to Settings → Profile to change your name, profile picture (uploaded from your device) and personal information.
Signing out
Click your account at the bottom of the sidebar, then Sign out. The session is revoked immediately and the local token is purged.
Warning
Signing out revokes the token server-side. On a shared device, always remember to sign out when you are done.
Account security
- Passwords are hashed (bcrypt) server-side — they are never stored in plain text.
- Authentication tokens expire automatically.
- Connected Git accounts (OAuth tokens) are encrypted with your installation’s encryption key.
