  3. See all linked providers

What Information is Shared

When you sign in with a provider, Kindship receives:

  • Email address — To identify your account
  • Name — For your profile
  • Profile photo — For your avatar (optional)

Kindship does not receive or store your provider password. The provider handles authentication directly.

Privacy Notes

Kindship's Access

Kindship only requests basic profile information. We don't access:

  • Your contacts
  • Your files
  • Your private data
  • Your provider password

Provider Visibility

The provider knows you've connected to Kindship. You can manage this in the provider's settings (e.g., Google account connected apps).

Revoking Access

You can revoke Kindship's access from the provider's side:

Google: Go to Google Account > Security > Third-party apps with account access

GitHub: Go to Settings > Applications > Authorized OAuth Apps

Revoking doesn't delete your Kindship account — you can still sign in with other methods.

Troubleshooting

Sign-In Failed

If the social sign-in fails:

  • Try again — Temporary issues sometimes resolve on retry
  • Check the provider — Make sure you can sign in to Google/GitHub directly
  • Clear cookies — Browser issues can cause problems
  • Try another browser — Rule out browser-specific issues

Wrong Account Connected

If you accidentally connected the wrong Google/GitHub account:

  1. Sign in to Kindship using another method
  2. Go to Settings > Security
  3. Remove the incorrect account
  4. Add the correct account

Account Already Exists

If you see "Account already exists" when using social sign-in:

  • You might have already created an account with that email
  • Try signing in with email/password instead
  • Use password reset if needed

Email Mismatch

The email from the provider must match your Kindship account email. If they differ, you may need to:

  • Sign in with the matching email method
  • Update your Kindship email
  • Contact support for help

Security Tips

Keep Provider Account Secure

Your provider account becomes a key to Kindship. Make sure it's protected:

  • Use a strong password
  • Enable two-factor authentication
  • Watch for suspicious activity

Don't Share Provider Access

Anyone with access to your Google or GitHub account could sign in to your Kindship account.

Review Connected Apps Regularly

Periodically check what apps are connected to your Google/GitHub accounts. Remove any you no longer use.

Multiple Accounts

If you have multiple Google or GitHub accounts:

  • Make sure you select the right one when signing in
  • Each provider account can only link to one Kindship account
  • Sign out of other accounts if you keep connecting the wrong one
