    6. Enter the code

## What we read from OAuth

| Provider | What we get                            | What we store |
| -------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| Google   | Email, sub (Google user ID)            | Email only    |
| GitHub   | Primary verified email, GitHub user ID | Email only    |

We don't pull display names, avatars, public repos, friend lists, or anything
else. The OAuth scope is `email` and that's it.

## After sign-up

You'll see the welcome screen for \~1.8 seconds:

> ✓ Account ready
> Welcome, **your name from email**.
> Your GPU Outlet account is live. Taking you to the dashboard in a moment…

Then auto-redirect to **Create instance**. You can skip the welcome with the
button if you're in a hurry. It shows exactly once — refresh-proof.

## Common signup issues

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I never got the email code">
    Check spam folder first. If still missing after 2 minutes, the **Resend
    code** button in the dashboard is rate-limited to one per 30 seconds. If
    Resend fails too, your email host might be blocking — try a different
    address or hop to Google / GitHub OAuth.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Google says 'app not verified'">
    We're a small team and Google's verification cycle runs slow. Click
    **Advanced → Go to GPU Outlet** to proceed. We only read your email.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="GitHub redirect loop">
    Usually a stale GitHub session. Open
    [github.com/settings/applications](https://github.com/settings/applications),
    revoke "GPU Outlet", retry the sign-in.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I want to use the same account from email AND Google">
    Use the same email address for both. We dedupe by email, so signing in
    with Google later (using `alice@example.com`) merges into the existing
    `alice@example.com` account.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## What's NOT there yet

* **Phone-based 2FA** — coming. For now your account is protected by
  email-code (or OAuth) only.
* **Passkeys** — coming.
* **Teams / shared accounts** — see [Teams](/guides/teams).
