# Sign In (/docs/account/signin)



Sign in at [layers.com](https://layers.com) → **Sign in**, or directly at
`/auth/signin`.

## Methods [#methods]

* **Email + password** — your normal credentials.
* **Google / GitHub** — same provider you used to sign up.

## Magic link fallback [#magic-link-fallback]

If you've forgotten your password but want to sign in once:

1. Click **Forgot password?** on the sign-in page.
2. Enter your email.
3. Open the link in the email — you're signed in for that session.

After signing in this way, set a new password from
[Account → Change password](/docs/account/change-password).

## Redirect parameter [#redirect-parameter]

The sign-in URL accepts `?redirect=/some/path` so you can deep-link a user
to a destination that requires auth. After successful sign-in they're
forwarded to that path.

## VSCode webview [#vscode-webview]

When the app runs inside the VSCode extension, sign-in stays in the webview
rather than opening a browser tab.

## Multi-account [#multi-account]

Layers supports one signed-in identity per browser. To switch accounts, sign
out and back in. For users who manage multiple organizations, use the Org
switcher in the app shell.
