Authentication

For the majority of wanderer’s features you need an account to interact with them.

The quickest way to create an account is by heading over to /register and entering a username, a valid email address, and a password of your choice. After registering you will be redirected to the homepage and can start creating your first trail.

Alternatively, wanderer supports authenticating via OAuth2. The following providers are supported:

  • GitHub
  • Apple
  • Google
  • Microsoft
  • Yandex
  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • GitLab
  • Bitbucket
  • Gitee
  • Gitea
  • Discord
  • Twitter
  • Kakao
  • VK
  • Spotify
  • Twitch
  • Patreon (v2)
  • Strava
  • LiveChat
  • mailcow
  • OpenID Connect

wanderer OAuth

If your instance offers OAuth logins, the enabled providers appear in wanderer’s login form. Click the button, authorize wanderer, and wait for the authentication to finish. You are now logged in and can use wanderer like any other user.

wanderer offers the option to send password reset emails in case a user forgets his password. You can click the “Forgot password” link in the login form. After requesting the reset the user will receive an email with a unique link to reset their password.
