Accounts on Fleek
Fleek’s platform access can be tied to a variety of existing logins. We handle logins to the platform through a service known as Dynamic which handles the authentication of these credentials.
Log-in methods
You can use any of the following methods to authenticate an account within Fleek:
- Wallet authentication
- Email authentication (using OTP)
- Soon: social logins (Google, Github, X)
Using wallet authentication requires that the user has linked an Ethereum wallet to their account, while using email authentication requires that the user has linked an email address to their account.
Account updates
Associating an email address to your Fleek account is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended as our notification system will use it to send you important information about your account and projects.
Deleting an account
You can delete your account at any time. This action is irreversible and will delete all the projects and data associated with it. If you wish to delete your account, you can do so from the ‘Account Settings’ page.
Usernames
Fleek uses usernames to identify users we will be using this in internal comunications and also in the UI. The username can be changed at any time from the ‘Account Settings’ page.
Email addresses
Users can choose to link an email address to their Fleek account. As mentioned previously, this enables the user to receive account updates that our notification system sends out.
Adding an email address
To add an email address, navigate to the ‘Log In Connections’ section found within ‘Account Settings.’ This area is dedicated to managing all aspects of your login connections.

Personal access tokens (PATs)
Personal access tokens (PATs) are used to authenticate with Fleek’s services. You can create as many tokens as you need and can delete them at any time.
Creating a PAT
To create a PAT, start by visiting ‘Account settings’ and clicking on the ‘Personal access tokens’ tab. Click ‘Create’ and choose a name that will identify this PAT. You will be prompted to confirm the creation by completing the authentication process. You will then receive a token that you can use to authenticate with Fleek’s services.
