If you signed up or signed in with Google, or another identity provider, that connection is listed under Linked providers on the Security page. From here you can connect additional providers or disconnect ones you no longer use.
Before you start
Make sure you'll still have a way to sign in after any change. The portal won't let you disconnect your only way to sign in - but it's worth thinking about ahead of time:
- If your account has a password set, you can sign in with email + password regardless of which providers are linked.
- If you only sign in via Google (no password ever set), Google is your only key. Set a password first via changing your password or link a second provider before disconnecting Google.
1. Open your account security page
- In the sidebar, find your profile button at the bottom - it shows your avatar, name, and email. Click on that.
- Click Settings. The Account Settings page opens.
- Along the top of the page, click the Security tab.
You'll see four cards stacked top to bottom: Change Password, Two-Factor Authentication, Linked Accounts, Passkeys, and Devices. The one you want is the third card down.
2. See your linked providers
Scroll to the Linked providers card. Each supported provider (currently, just Google) is listed as its own row. Each row shows the provider name and logo on the left, the current status in the middle, and an action button on the right.
The status tells you what's going on:
- Connected: followed by the email address you're linked with, e.g. Connected as [email protected]. The action button on the right reads Disconnect.
- Not connected: the row just shows the provider name with no email. The action button reads Connect.
3. Connect a new provider
To link a provider you don't currently have connected:
- Find the row for the provider you want to add (its action button reads Connect).
- Click Connect. A new tab or popup opens on the provider's own sign-in page.
- Sign in to the provider if you aren't already, and approve the permissions it asks for. These are limited to basic profile information such as your name and email.
- The provider then sends you back to the portal automatically. You'll land back on the Security page and the row for that provider now shows that the account has been linked.
From now on, you can sign in to Synteq using that provider on the login page.
4. Disconnect a provider
To unlink a provider you no longer want to use:
- Find the row for the provider you want to remove.
- Click Unlink. A small confirmation dialog opens asking you to confirm.
- Afterward, you'll need to Slide to unlink.
The row flips back to "not linked" and that provider can no longer be used to sign in to your account.
If you try to disconnect the only way you can sign in (e.g. you've never set a password and only have one provider linked), the portal blocks the action and shows a message explaining you need to add another sign-in method first. Either set a password via changing your password, or link a second provider, then try disconnecting again.
What changes from here
- Adding a provider gives you an extra way in - your existing password and other providers all keep working.
- Removing a provider removes that one path in only. Your password (if you have one) and any other linked providers still work.
- 2FA settings are unaffected by linking or unlinking providers. If you have 2FA on, you'll still be asked for a code after signing in with a provider.
