If the email does not arrive, check your spam folder. Use "Resend" on the sign-up page. Requests are rate-limited, so wait a few minutes between attempts.

Get a key

You can get a key for free on the website, in Ratatosk, or through the Telegram bot.

Keys

  • One key works on every ShortNerdCat platform.
  • The app shows the key partially masked and does not write it to regular diagnostic logs.
  • Do not publish your key or give it to anyone. If it is lost or compromised, it can be replaced.
  • Logout removes the key from the device.

Password reset

Use "Forgot password" on the sign-in page. The reset link is valid for 1 hour.
