# One sign-in for the site and its discussions

This article was prepared with AI assistance and reviewed by a person before publication.

You can now sign in from the Namegarage header or from a blog discussion.
Both open the same dialog, and one sign-in works in both places. Discord and
Telegram join Google, Apple, GitHub, X, and LinkedIn. You can still browse the
catalog and read posts and approved comments without an account.

Sign in from the header and you return to the page you were on. Start from a
discussion and you return to the comment form with your draft intact. Your
initials in the header open the account menu, where you can sign out. Comments
still go through review before publication.

## One dialog in both themes

Matching tiles and consistent label sizes make the choices easy to scan in
light and dark mode. Each option has a visible keyboard focus
indicator. The browser's native dialog keeps focus inside while it is open;
press Escape to close it and return to the control that opened it.

## What the account shares

Discord sign-in asks for basic account identity, without email or server access.
Telegram sign-in asks for basic profile information, without your phone number
or permission to message you. Namegarage displays your name and sign-in provider
and builds the header initials locally. It does not fetch a provider portrait.
See the [account and comment privacy notice](/blog/comments-privacy) for what we
store and how to request removal.

The site account is separate from lease and broker access. The server accepts
sign-in returns only to supported public pages. We tested sign-in with Discord
and Telegram in separate rehearsal storage, with analytics and ads off.
That lets us verify the real sign-in without creating a live reader account or
posting a test comment.
