Signing in to BRUTAL is passwordless and optional. Your email is your license identity, so signing in once lets you recover your license on another PC. There are two ways to complete sign-in, and this page covers both, plus what to try when the email doesn't show up.
When you enter your email, BRUTAL sends you one email that contains both options:
You only need one of them. The same email sign-in works in the account portal at brutaloptimizer.com/account, where you can also view and copy your license key.
If nothing shows up in a minute, work through this list:
If a link reports as expired or already used, just resend from the app or the portal to get a new one.
Signing in is optional, and the free app works without an account. On the sign-in window, press Not now and you go straight into the app — every time. If you haven't signed in, the app offers again now and then, and Not now always works.
Signing in is still worth doing. It's what lets you recover your license on a reinstall or a new PC, and it's how Pro and Ultra renewal reminders reach you.
Do I have to sign in to use BRUTAL?
No. Signing in is optional: press Not now on the sign-in window and the app opens as usual, every time. Signing in with your email lets you recover your license on another PC and receive renewal reminders.
My 6-digit code or magic link says it's expired. What now?
Codes and magic links expire, and a magic link is single-use. Just resend from the app or the account portal at brutaloptimizer.com/account, then use the newest email you receive.
The email never arrives even after resending.
Check your spam folder and confirm you entered the correct address, then resend. If it still doesn't arrive, email [email protected] with the address you're trying to use.
