# Your Cove account

> Signing in with Roblox, linking Discord, and the settings that keep the account yours.

One Cove account can belong to any number of workspaces. It is tied to your
Roblox account rather than to an email and password.

## Signing in

Cove uses Roblox to sign you in, so there is no Cove password to make, forget
or have stolen. Proving you own the Roblox account is the whole of it.

Linking **Discord** is required rather than optional — Cove leans on Discord as
heavily as it does Roblox, and an account without it cannot join or create a
workspace. The link is also what lets Cove recognise you in a server, which is
what verification, role binds and moderation all work from.

## Securing it

| Method     | Notes                                          |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Two-factor | An authenticator code on top of Roblox sign-in |
| Passkeys   | Sign in with a device you already unlock       |

A passkey counts as two factors on its own — the device holds a key that cannot
leave it, and you unlocked the device with a biometric or a PIN. So an account
with two-factor switched on is not asked for a code as well when signing in
with a passkey.

## Your details

| Detail           | What it is for                                           |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Email            | Account notices, not marketing. Optional, and verifiable |
| Birthday         | Optional; workspaces can show it on the day              |
| Account standing | Any moderation decision about your Cove account          |

Account standing explains what happened, what it affects and when it expires.
Anything restricted is listed there rather than discovered by bumping into it.
