Sign in with Path of Exile

We use the official Grinding Gear Games OAuth flow to verify your identity. Completing the sign-in keeps your data tied to your account and unlocks stash imports, contribution tracking, and personalized dashboards.

What we store after you sign in

Path of Exile account identifiers
Your UUID and display name let us keep your contributions and personalization in sync. A placeholder email in the format <uuid>@pathofexile.com satisfies our unique constraint and is never used for contact.
Session metadata and OAuth tokens
Encrypted access tokens from GGG (and Patreon if you link it) are stored server-side so we can fetch data you request.
Roles and feature access
Moderator, Patreon, and beta program roles toggle additional tools. You can revoke access or delete your account from your profile any time.

OAuth scopes requested from GGG

GGG requires scopes to be declared during the OAuth handshake. The scope descriptions below are excerpted from the official developer documentation and paired with our usage notes.

account:profile

Provides access to your basic Path of Exile profile information.

How PoeHow uses it

Create and maintain your PoeHow user record (display name, realm, guild) and prevent duplicate accounts.
Verify ownership before we allow actions that touch your Path of Exile data, such as initiating stash imports or linking Patreon.

account:stashes

Allows viewing the account’s stash tabs and the items inside them.

How PoeHow uses it

Stash import and valuation tools. We fetch only the tabs you ask us to process, compute the totals server-side, and discard the raw response after the request finishes.

account:characters

Allows viewing the account’s characters and their inventories.

How PoeHow uses it

Support upcoming character analytics (loadout snapshots, farming templates). The scope must be granted up front, but we only call the character endpoints when you opt into those tools. We do not persist your full character roster today.

account:league_accounts

Allows viewing the account’s allocated Atlas passive skills.

How PoeHow uses it

Prepare atlas-aware recommendations and benchmarking features that tailor strategies to your passive tree. As with characters, we only read this data on demand and do not store your atlas layout verbatim.

We do not request any service:* scopes on behalf of regular users, nor do we gain the ability to change your account settings within Path of Exile.
