Can't sign in with your email? OTP code and magic link

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.

The two sign-in paths

When you enter your email, BRUTAL sends you one email that contains both options:

• 6-digit one-time code (OTP) — type the code into the app, or into the account portal, to sign in. In the app, this is the one to use.
• One-click magic link — click it to sign in on the website, in your browser, where you can see your license.

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.

Code or link not arriving

If nothing shows up in a minute, work through this list:

• Check your spam / junk folder — sign-in mail can land there.
• Confirm the address — make sure you typed the same email you signed in or paid with, with no typos.
• Wait about a minute, then resend — delivery isn't always instant.
• Always use the latest email — codes and links expire, so an older code or link may no longer work. Open the most recent message you received.

If a link reports as expired or already used, just resend from the app or the portal to get a new one.

You don't have to sign in

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.
