# Sign in

> Create an account or sign in to the Periphery console with Google or an emailed magic link.

The console lives at [console.periphery.exposed](https://console.periphery.exposed). There is no separate sign-up step: the first sign-in creates your account.

**1. Open the login page**

Go to [console.periphery.exposed/login](https://console.periphery.exposed/login). Any page of the console sends you there when you are signed out.

**2. Choose Google or a magic link**

**Continue with Google** signs you in with the email address of your Google account.

**Email me a sign-in link** sends a sign-in link to the address you type. The page then says which address the link went to, with a **Resend link** button. Open the link in the same browser and click **Sign in** on the page it opens. The link works once and expires after 15 minutes; if it has expired, request a new one.

**3. You are in**

You land on the search page. Your account is on the Free plan, which every new account starts on: 100 searches a month, no card. See [Plans and limits](https://docs.periphery.exposed/plans.md) for what each plan includes.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Magic-link requests are limited to five per hour per address. If the email does not arrive, check your spam folder before requesting another.

## Your account page

Click the account icon at the right of the top bar to reach [console.periphery.exposed/account](https://console.periphery.exposed/account). It shows the address you are signed in with, your plan and its price, and your searches this month with the date they reset. On the Plus plan it is also where you generate and rotate your [API key](https://docs.periphery.exposed/api/authentication.md) and see when it was last used.

## Signing out

**Sign out**, at the top of your account page, ends the session on that browser.

## Delete your account

At the bottom of your account page, **Delete account…** asks you to type your email address, then deletes your account, API key, plan and feature votes, and signs you out. If you have a Plus subscription, it is cancelled first; if that fails, nothing is deleted and the page says so. Activity logs are not deleted with the account: they expire after 90 days, as the [privacy policy](https://console.periphery.exposed/privacy) says. Signing in again with the same address creates a new Free account.
