# Authentication & account — Sign in and manage your stagewise account

> Sign in to the stagewise agentic IDE with passwordless email authentication. Manage your subscription, monitor usage, and access the stagewise Account model library.

Open **Settings → Account**.

## Signing in

stagewise uses passwordless email authentication:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter your email">
    Type your email in the sign-in form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Receive OTP">
    A 6-digit one-time password is sent to your email.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the code">
    Enter the OTP to complete authentication.
  </Step>
</Steps>

No password needed. Each sign-in generates a fresh OTP.

## Account details

Once signed in, the account page shows:

* **Email** — Your registered email
* **Plan** — Current subscription tier
* **Status** — Active, expired, etc.
* **Expiration** — End of current billing period
* **Machine ID** — Unique device identifier

## Usage tracking

Usage bars show consumption across rate-limit windows:

* **Credits** — Remaining prepaid balance
* **Daily / Weekly / Monthly** — Percentage consumed in each window, with reset timers

Color coding:

* **Green** — Under 80% consumed
* **Yellow** — 80–100% consumed
* **Red** — Rate limit reached

## Console

Click **Open Console** to access the stagewise console for billing, subscription management, and detailed usage history.

## Signing out

Click **Sign out** to deauthenticate. Settings, workspaces, and chat history are preserved locally. Signing back in restores access to the stagewise Account managed inference service.

## Using stagewise without an account

Skip authentication and configure [BYOK](/reference/byok-setup) for all providers. In BYOK-only mode, no requests go through the stagewise managed service.
