You do not pick a “mode.” Where you open Akira decides how simple sign-in is.
Opening Akira inside Discord
If your community uses the WebUI as an Activity inside Discord (it opens in Discord instead of Chrome or Safari), you usually do not enter a password or a code. Discord already knows who you are, and Akira drops you straight into the app.
First time here? You might still see a loading moment while your account is set up — that is normal.
Opening Akira in a normal browser
If you visit the site in Firefox, Chrome, Edge, etc., Akira cannot “see” your Discord session the same way. You go through a short DM check so only you can open your binder:
- Enter the Discord username Akira knows you by (the same name you use with the bot in the server).
- Open your Discord DMs — Akira sends you a one-time code.
- Paste that code into the WebUI. If it is still valid, you are in — or you may be asked for one more step below.
- First time only: you may be asked to choose a site password. This is only for the WebUI in the browser — keep it separate from your Discord login.
- Next times: you can sign in with username + site password so you do not need a fresh DM every visit.
Before this can work: Akira must have your Discord handle on file. In the server, run /ping or /help once (either command saves your name for the WebUI). Then use that same handle, lower case, on the WebUI username step — no discriminator numbers on newer Discord accounts. If she still cannot find you, ask your server admin.
Rough edges
The sign-in screens and wording may still feel plain or change as the WebUI grows. The important part for you: inside Discord should feel instant; in a browser is username → DM code → (optional first-time password) → later username + password.
