How Unanym works

One account. You choose what each website sees. It starts when a community website asks you to sign in with Unanym.

1

Start on a website

On a community’s website, choose Continue with Unanym and confirm a code sent to your email. Your account starts there; the website receives nothing until you allow it.

2

Choose what to share

Pick a name and any memberships to share with that website. Your email stays with your account.

3

Review or disconnect

Your Unanym shows what each website receives. Change your choices or disconnect.

Questions

What can a website see?

Your chosen name, its own identifier for you, and the memberships or confirmations you select. It receives no account email, other connections or unselected memberships.

Each website decides what access your shared records allow. Sharing permission does not mean a website fetched the records or admitted you.

How do I get a membership?

An authorised organiser approves it. Creating an account does not make you a member. A confirmation records completion of a community introduction and is shared separately.

Approvals can expire or be withdrawn. Saved sharing choices can apply again after reapproval; review them if you no longer want to share. Membership and introduction confirmations do not certify professional training or personal safety.

What happens when I disconnect?

New access through this service stops. Previously issued sign-in tokens expire within five minutes. Websites may keep earlier copies.

In Your Unanym, use a website's Change link to review sharing. If it has no Change link, sign in on that website again.

Who can connect my identities?

Your account operator holds the records and signing keys and can link your websites. Each website gets a different identifier, but shared names and memberships can still make you recognisable.

A website receives operator-signed approval statements. Organisation approval and operator key custody are different; the organisation does not hold those signing keys.

How do I recover my account?

Sign in with a code sent to your email. If you lose access to that mailbox, contact your account operator. Automatic lost-mailbox recovery is not available.

Your sharing summary is a copy of your choices, not a key backup or recovery kit.
