Sign in
Create a LuxAlgo account, confirm your email, sign in with a password, an email code, or Google, Apple, Facebook or Discord, and reset a forgotten password.
One LuxAlgo account signs you in to your account, plans and the Library at app.luxalgo.com, and to Vela, our next-generation charting platform.
Create an account
Open Sign up. Choose Continue with Google or Continue with Apple, or use your email address:
Enter your email
Type your email address and select Continue with email.
Choose a password
Use at least 8 characters, then select Create account.
Confirm your email
On Check your email, enter the 6-digit code we sent you. You're signed in as soon as the code is accepted.
The code expires in 10 minutes. If it hasn't arrived, check spam, or select send a new code (each new code replaces the previous one). To start over with another address, select Use a different email.
If you sign up with an email that already has an account, the page moves on as usual and we email that address instead, with a way to sign in or reset the password.
Sign in
Open Sign in and choose one of these:
- Continue with Google or Continue with Apple, or Facebook or Discord. You sign in on that provider's page and come back signed in.
- Email and password. Enter your email, select Continue with email, then enter your password and select Sign in.
- An email code. On the password step, select Email me a sign-in code instead, then enter the 6-digit code from your inbox. Codes only sign in existing accounts; they never create one.
If you created your account with email and password but never confirmed your email, signing in with your password sends a confirmation code first. Enter it to continue.
Too many wrong tries with one code ends it; send a new one. If a page says Too many requests, wait a minute and try again.
Two-factor authentication
If you've turned on an authenticator app in Account Settings, a Two-factor authentication step follows your password:
- Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app. Codes change every 30 seconds, so use the current one.
- No phone? Select Use a backup code instead and enter one of the backup codes you saved. Each works once.
- Tick Trust this device for 30 days to skip the code on that device for 30 days.
After several wrong codes, sign-in pauses for a few minutes. If the step times out, select Back and enter your password again.
Accounts with two-factor authentication on can't use Email me a sign-in code instead: no code is sent, so sign in with your password and authenticator code. Two-factor authentication applies to password sign-in; when you sign in with Google, Apple, Facebook or Discord, that provider's own security applies.
Forgot your password
Request a reset link
On the password step, select Forgot it? next to Password, or open Reset your password. Enter your account email and select Send reset link.
Open the email
If that address has a LuxAlgo account, a reset link is on its way. It expires in one hour and works once. Can't find it? Check spam.
Choose a new password
On Choose a new password, enter it and select Save and sign in. You're signed in straight away.
If the page says This reset link has expired, select Send a new link and use the newest email.
Sign out
To sign out of the device you're on, open your profile menu and select Log out.
To sign out everywhere else, change your password: choosing a new one, either from Forgot it? or under Password in Security, signs you out on every other device. See Change your password.
