Why We’re Making This Change

FlowScale AI has transitioned from GitHub authentication to Google authentication to provide significant improvements:
  • Lower friction – no GitHub permission pop‑ups or PATs.
  • Greater privacy – FlowScale AI no longer requests repo‑level scopes.
  • Simpler storage – projects now live securely in FlowScale AI’s own database (no Git repos to maintain).

​

Frequently Asked Questions

Q — I accidentally used a different Google account. Can I merge later? Currently, no. Log out and sign back in with the original email to trigger migration. Q — My projects didn’t appear. What should I do? Go to Profile page and verify that the email you are logged in with is the same as the github account email that you were working with before? If issues persist, email [email protected] with your GitHub username. Q — Will FlowScale AI still push changes back to GitHub? New projects stay entirely inside FlowScale AI.

​
Troubleshooting Migration Issues

If you encounter issues during migration, these solutions usually resolve common problems.
If the migration process doesn’t start automatically:
1

Verify Email Match

Ensure you’re using the exact same email address from your GitHub account
2

Clear Browser Cache

Sometimes cached data can interfere with the detection process
3

Try Incognito Mode

Test logging in using an incognito/private browser window
4

Wait and Retry

The detection system may need a moment to process your login
