Ğ1
Sign-in service

Sign in to a site with your Ğ1 wallet

This service lets a website recognise you from your Ğ1 account. You sign a request in your wallet, and the site receives your identity name in the web of trust. There is no password to remember and no account to create.

No sign-in starts on this page. You arrive here from the site you want to sign in to, by clicking its Ğ1 button.

How a sign-in goes

  1. On the site, you click the Ğ1 sign-in button.
  2. A page opens your wallet, or shows a code to scan with your phone.
  3. You sign the request in the wallet, and the site signs you in.

Your private key never leaves your wallet. This service receives a one-time signature, valid for five minutes. Membership and the identity number are then read directly from the Ğ1 blockchain.

What the site learns

  • Your Ğ1 identity name
  • That identity's number on the chain
  • Your public Ğ1 address
  • Whether your identity is a member today

What it never learns

  • Your private key or your recovery phrase
  • A password: there is none
  • Your email address

This service is reserved for members of the Ğ1 web of trust. A wallet with no identity, or whose identity is not a member, is refused.
