Sign in & accounts
One Ingot account covers the hosted models, your usage, your team and your billing. You can use Ingot without signing in if you only use your own keys or local models.
Sign in from the IDE
- Click Account at the bottom left of the IDE and choose Sign in.
- Your browser opens the Ingot portal. Sign in with an email code, GitHub or Google.
- Approve the IDE. The browser hands the sign-in back to Ingot through an
ingot://link.
The handoff link is single use and expires after 60 seconds. Ingot also supports a device code sign-in for machines where the link can't reach the IDE: the IDE shows a code like BCDF-GHJK, and you approve it at /device in the portal within 10 minutes.
Sessions and tokens
| Token | Lifetime | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| IDE access token | 1 hour | refreshed automatically |
| IDE refresh token | 30 days | rotates on every use; reusing an old one signs that IDE out |
| Personal access token | until revoked | starts with ingot_pat_, shown once; create one in the dashboard |
See and sign out connected IDEs in the dashboard. Signing out from the IDE revokes its tokens.
The dashboard
The portal dashboard shows tokens left this month, connected IDEs and what their agents are doing, requests, tokens and spend by day and model, your own provider keys, personal tokens, team and plan.
Teams
Create a team, then invite people by email as admin or member. Owners manage everyone except other owners; admins manage members. An invite is single use and must be accepted with the invited email address.
