Your manage link is the whole account. Here's how not to lose it

Published Oct 14, 2026 · updated Jul 30, 2026

You don't need an account here. There's no password and no forgot-password flow, and that's on purpose. When you add a code, you get one thing: a private manage link. That link is the entire key to your codes. This short guide is about treating it accordingly.

What the manage link actually is

It's a URL containing a long random secret, generated when you first submit a code. Anyone with the link can edit, refresh, or delete your codes; anyone without it can't, including us, in the sense that there's no username to look you up by if the link is gone. No account also means nothing to breach: we never hold a password for you, and your codes aren't tied to your identity.

The three-second insurance policy

Bookmark it the moment you see it. That really is the whole guide, but belt-and-suspenders help: the submit form also offers to email you the link (the only thing your email is ever used for), and password managers happily store bookmarks-as-secure-notes if you want it somewhere synced and encrypted. Pick any two of bookmark, email, password manager, and you're covered against every ordinary disaster.

If you lose it anyway

Your codes keep working. They stay in rotation, keep getting served, and keep earning you referrals. You just can't edit or refresh them, so they'll eventually expire out of the pool at the end of their freshness window and retire gracefully. Nothing breaks, nothing leaks; you can always re-submit a fresh code and get a new manage link (bookmark it this time). The failure mode is mild by design, but the freshness timer means an unmanaged code has a shelf life, so the bookmark is still worth those three seconds.

Why we built it this way

Accounts would mean passwords, resets, lockouts, and a database of emails worth stealing. Heavy machinery for a site whose whole job is handing out codes fairly. A capability link keeps the trust surface tiny: one secret, held by you. It just makes that one secret genuinely yours to keep.
