# Signing In

### Authentication

Glint uses **Google OAuth** through Privy for authentication. Click "Sign In with Google" and you're in. We don't store passwords — your account is tied to your Google identity.

When you want to trade, Glint creates a secure **embedded wallet** through Privy on demand. This only happens when you click "Connect Wallet" — not during initial login.

### What We Store

* Your display name and email (from Google)
* Your alert preferences and filter settings
* Your trading activity within Glint

### What We Don't Store

* Passwords (we use Google OAuth)
* Wallet private keys
* Payment card details

### Account Requirements

All you need is a Google account. There's no wallet connection required to browse the feed, view signals, or explore markets. Wallet connection is only needed when you want to execute trades through the inline trading feature.

### Signing Out

Click your avatar in the top-right corner and select "Sign Out." Your alert preferences and settings will persist for next time.
