Signing in and out
You can sign in with an email address and password, or with Continue with Google. Either way, hiy.ai keeps you signed in with a session stored in your browser.
Logging out signs you out everywhere
Log out in the account menu ends every session on your account, not just the browser you clicked it in. If you were signed in on a phone and a laptop, both are signed out.
That is deliberate: when you log out, you should be logged out.
Clearing cookies is not the same as logging out
This one surprises people, so it's worth being plain about.
Your session lives in a browser cookie. Clearing your cookies deletes your copy of it — it does not tell hiy.ai anything. The session itself is still valid, so anything that already had a copy of it stays signed in. Nothing has been revoked; you've just thrown away your own key.
It also means the reverse: after clearing cookies, an already-open tab can keep showing the app until it next asks the server for something. Reload the page and you'll get the sign-in screen.
If you want a session to actually end, log out — or use the option below.
Sign out other devices
Account menu → Sign out other devices ends every session except the one you're using. Reach for it when:
- you signed in on a shared or borrowed computer and walked away
- you cleared cookies or lost a device, and want to be sure the old session is dead
- you just want a clean slate without signing yourself out here
Because it leaves the current session alone, you can use it and carry on working. If you're not signed in anywhere right now, sign in first — a session can only be revoked by someone holding a valid one.
Changing your password
Changing your password does not by itself sign other devices out. Use Sign out other devices as well if that's what you intend.
