Managing passwords across dozens of services is tedious. To make accessing your files and media library fast and effortless, X02 supports Account Connections for Discord and Google.

By linking your Discord or Google accounts, you unlock:

• 1-Click Social Login: Sign in instantly with one click on any browser or phone without typing your password.
• Account Recovery: Never get locked out if you forget your local password.
• Discord Bot & Ticket Integration: Seamlessly sync your Discord identity for server ticket moderation and bot management.
• Flexible Multi-Auth: Connect multiple login methods to a single unified dashboard and disconnect them anytime.

Part 1: The Easy Guide (For Everyone)

Linking your social accounts takes less than 10 seconds directly from your dashboard.

Linking Your Discord Account

1. Log in to your account at x02.me and open your Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Settings and find the Account Connections section.
3. Next to Discord, click Connect Discord.
4. A secure Discord authorization window will appear. Click Authorize.

Once approved, you will see a green Linked badge. You can now use the Continue with Discord button on the login screen anytime.

Linking Your Google Account

1. Go to Dashboard Settings Account Connections.
2. Next to Google, click Connect Google.
3. Choose your Google account in the secure popup.
4. Confirm authorization.

Your Google account is now linked, enabling 1-click Continue with Google sign-in.

How to Disconnect a Linked Account

If you want to unlink a Discord or Google profile from your X02 account:

1. Open Dashboard Settings Account Connections.
2. Click Disconnect Discord or Disconnect Google.
3. Confirm the action.

[!NOTE] Your Files Are Always Safe: Disconnecting a social account never deletes your uploaded files, custom subdomain settings, or API keys. You can always reconnect at any time or log in using your standard username and password.

Part 2: The Developer & Power User Guide

For developers curious about how authentication and account linking are handled behind the scenes:

1. OAuth 2.0 Flow Under the Hood

X02 follows the standard OAuth 2.0 authorization code grant flow:

1. CSRF State Verification: When linking from the dashboard, a cryptographically random state parameter prevents cross-site request forgery attacks.
2. Account Association: The provider's unique ID (discordId or googleId) is securely stored in your user database record alongside verified email metadata.
3. No Password Sharing: X02 never accesses, sees, or stores your external Discord or Google passwords.

2. Disconnecting Accounts via REST API

If you are managing user sessions programmatically:

Disconnect Discord Endpoint:

curl -X POST "https://x02.me/api/discord/disconnect" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_X02_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Disconnect Google Endpoint:

curl -X POST "https://x02.me/api/google/disconnect" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_X02_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Successful JSON Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Account disconnected successfully"
}

3. Discord Bot & Ticket System Synchronization

Linking your Discord account directly pairs with the X02 Discord Ticket System (/discord-tickets).

When linked:

• The web ticket dashboard automatically detects which Discord servers you manage.
• Ticket creation buttons, staff response forms, and HTML transcripts are automatically attributed to your Discord user identity.
