Account and login

GitStars.io supports passwordless login:

  • Magic link by email
  • Google SSO
  • GitHub SSO

Magic link login sends a one-time verification link. There is no password to remember or rotate.

The Watchlist menu item appears only for signed-in users. Repository save icons remain visible to all visitors. If a signed-out visitor clicks save, GitStars.io sends them to login and can attach the selected repositories to the signed-in account after verification.

Signed-in users can create API keys from the user menu. API keys are optional for public API calls and provide higher rate limits than anonymous traffic.

GitStars.io keeps a browser session after login. API keys are separate credentials for API clients and can be revoked without signing out of the web app.
