Accounts

One PortModels account gives you access to the whole gallery. Apps do not have their own sign-up, their own password, or their own subscription.

What an account holds#

• Identity — your PortModels email address, username, and display name.
• Credit balance — the shared balance every app draws from.
• Connected apps — the apps you have authorized, and the scopes each holds.
• App data — per-app key/value entries and files stored on your behalf.
• History — the runs made on your account and what each cost.

Signing in to an app#

You never give an app your PortModels password. When an app needs your account it redirects you to a PortModels screen, you approve it there, and the app receives a token limited to the permissions it asked for. That flow is Connect with PortModels.

A downloadable app that cannot open a browser redirect uses the device flow instead: it shows a short code, you enter that code on a PortModels page, and the app is authorized once you approve.

Developer accounts#

Publishing requires a developer profile with a publisher namespace — a unique handle that prefixes every app you publish. Your app's identifier is publisher/app-name, so two developers can both publish an app called summarizer without colliding, and a name you own cannot be taken over later.

See Publish an app.

Deleting your account#

Contact [email protected] to delete your account. Deletion removes your profile, your stored app data, and your authorizations. Unused credits are not refundable — see the Terms.
