# Accounts & Login

> Sign in to Raven Pro with Google or email, and manage your account.

<Note>
  This page is about **Raven Pro** accounts. The [open-source version](/quickstart/overview) doesn't require sign-in - you provide your own API keys and everything runs locally.
</Note>

## Signing In

Raven Pro supports two sign-in methods:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Google">
    1. Click **"Get Started"** on the welcome screen
    2. Your browser opens to Google's sign-in page
    3. Sign in with your Google account
    4. A page confirms **"Opening Raven"** and redirects back to the app
    5. You're signed in - the app continues to the next onboarding step
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Email & Password">
    1. Click **"Get Started"** on the welcome screen
    2. Your browser opens to Raven's sign-in page
    3. Enter your email and password (or create an account)
    4. A page confirms **"Opening Raven"** and redirects back to the app
    5. You're signed in
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Authentication happens in your browser for security - your password is never entered inside the app itself.

## What Happens After Sign-In

Once signed in, Raven:

* Sets up managed API keys (no key or model configuration in Settings)
* Syncs your sessions, modes, and documents from the cloud
* Activates Pro features like meeting detection and the overlay **Fast/Deep** toggle (Haiku vs Sonnet)
* Remembers your session across app restarts

## Session Expiry

Your sign-in session stays active for a long time and refreshes automatically in the background. If it ever expires (e.g., after a very long period of inactivity), you'll see a **"Session expired"** message and need to sign in again. No data is lost.

## Account Settings

From **Settings > Profile**, you can:

* **Change your display name** - shown in the overlay and dashboard header
* **Upload a profile picture** - includes a crop editor, or uses your Google avatar by default
* **Change your password** - if you signed up with email
* **Delete your account** - permanently removes your account and all cloud data

## Signing Out

Click your avatar in the dashboard header and select **"Sign out"**. This:

* Signs you out of the current device
* Hides the overlay
* Returns you to the sign-in screen

Your local session data remains on the device. Sign back in to resume cloud sync.

## Troubleshooting

| ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Browser didn't redirect back to Raven | Click **"Try again"** on the waiting screen - it starts a fresh sign-in                |
| "Session expired" message             | Sign in again - this is normal after extended inactivity                               |
