Register & Sign In
LingXizhi IDE uses an email-based account system. Registration, sign-in, and password recovery all happen inside the IDE. Your session is managed centrally by the built-in Rust kernel — sign in once to use AI chat, RUSH Deep Task, cloud sync, and every other capability.
Register an Account
On first launch of LingXizhi IDE, click "Sign up" on the login page and follow these steps:
Enter your email and get a verification code: enter a frequently used email address and click "Send code". You will receive an email containing a 6-digit code. Sending is rate-limited — if you see "Sending too frequently", wait a moment and retry.
Confirm your username: the system pre-fills a username from your email prefix, which you can edit freely (2–50 characters). The username appears in your profile on the settings page.
Set a password: at least 8 characters; a mix of upper/lowercase letters, digits, and symbols is recommended.
Submit: after entering the verification code, click "Register". On success you are signed in automatically and taken to the IDE main window — no need to enter your password again.
Sign In
The primary sign-in method is email + password:
- On the login page, enter your registered email and password, then click "Log in".
- After a successful sign-in, the kernel stores the token and renews it automatically — restarting the IDE does not require signing in again.
- If the wrong password is entered repeatedly, a click-captcha appears — click the characters in the image in the prompted order to continue.
About the click-captcha: the captcha is trigger-based and does not appear in normal use. It is only required after 2 consecutive failed sign-ins, or when too many requests in a short window trigger rate limiting (429) — a defense against brute-force attacks. Click the positions matching the characters shown, in order, to pass.
Reset Your Password
If you forget your password, you can reset it yourself by email — no need to contact support:
- Click "Forgot password?" on the login page.
- Enter your registered email and click "Send code" to receive a 6-digit code.
- Enter the code and your new password (at least 8 characters), then click "Reset password".
- After a successful reset, return to the login page and sign in with the new password.
Account security notes
- Login tokens (JWT) are managed and rotated by the local kernel. The IDE UI layer never stores your plaintext password, nor any production credentials other than your API Key.
- Clicking "Log out" on the settings page also clears the local session. Always log out after using a shared computer.
- Verification emails come from the official service domain and never ask for your password. Any message from a self-claimed "support agent" requesting your password or verification code is a scam.
Next Steps
After signing in, we recommend completing the first-time setup: choose a default model, confirm your subscription quota, and learn how the kernel port works.
