# Sign In

> Sign in to kipmox with a secure magic link — no password needed.

kipmox uses passwordless **magic-link** sign-in. There's no password to remember or manage.

## Sign in from VS Code

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter your email">
    In the kipmox panel, enter your email and request a link.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the email">
    kipmox sends you a sign-in link. Open the email and click it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You're in">
    VS Code signs you in automatically. Re-run whatever action you were doing to continue.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The magic link expires after **15 minutes**. If it expires, request a new one from VS Code.

## Sign in from the website

You can also sign in at [kipmox.com](https://kipmox.com) with your email. From your **account page** you can open VS Code to connect your session, view your plan and usage, and manage billing. Your plan syncs across the website and VS Code — run **kipmox: Refresh Account** if you need VS Code to pick up a change right away.

## Trying kipmox without an account

Your **first 2 requests are free with no account**. From the **3rd request**, kipmox prompts you to sign in — this is still the Free plan (**15 fixes and 2 documents every 4 hours**); an account just lets you keep going.

## Sign out

Run **kipmox: Sign Out** from the Command Palette (`Cmd+Shift+P` / `Ctrl+Shift+P`) to sign out on that machine.

## Refresh your account

If you've just upgraded or your plan changed, run **kipmox: Refresh Account** to sync the latest status into VS Code — no reinstall needed.
