Account

The Account tab manages your Plinken account — registration, login, subscription tier, and session diagnostics.

Open Settings with ⌘, (macOS) or Ctrl+, (Windows/Linux), then select Account in the sidebar.

Registration

New users register with an email address and a nickname. Plinken uses one-time password (OTP) verification — no traditional passwords.

Registration Flow

Enter your email address and choose a nickname (minimum 2 characters)
Click Register (or press Enter while either field is focused)
Check your email for a 6-digit OTP code
Enter the code in the OTP field and click Verify OTP (or press Enter)
On success, your account status changes to Registered and auth tokens are stored locally

If the OTP expires or doesn’t arrive, click Resend to request a new code.

Lua API

Account settings are managed through the registration flow and are not directly exposed as key-value settings. The account status can be queried via commands:

-- Account registration is handled through the UI flow
-- Session tokens are managed automatically

-- Open the settings panel to the Account tab
pl.cmd("settings:open", { tab = "account" })

Command	Description
`settings:open`	Open settings panel (optionally to a specific tab)
