Sign in to WhoseDev
Sign in when you want WhoseDev Cloud models, account quota, team workspaces, and synced usage metadata. You can use the editor without signing in if you rely on a direct provider (BYOK) or local Ollama only.
Sign in from the editor
Section titled “Sign in from the editor”- Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P).
- Run WhoseDev: Sign In.
- Complete the browser sign-in flow and return to the editor.
You can also open the status bar account menu when it is visible. After sign-in it shows your plan and Usage remaining.
Sign out
Section titled “Sign out”Run WhoseDev: Sign Out from the Command Palette. Managed cloud routes stop working until you sign in again; local and BYOK routes configured on the device are unaffected.
Browser sign-in flow
Section titled “Browser sign-in flow”WhoseDev uses a browser-based authentication handoff:
- The editor opens your default browser to the WhoseDev sign-in page.
- After you authenticate, the browser redirects back to the editor through a registered protocol handler (
whosedev://). - The editor exchanges the authorization code for session tokens.
On Linux, the install includes an auth URL handler script so OAuth callbacks reach the correct WhoseDev instance (installed vs development build).
Region selection
Section titled “Region selection”Setting whosedev.account.region chooses which WhoseDev backend region to prefer:
| Value | Behavior |
|---|---|
us |
United States |
eu |
European Union |
auto |
Auto-select based on latency |
Change this in WhoseDev settings if your organization requires a specific data region.
After sign-in
Section titled “After sign-in”- Open WhoseDev AI Settings to view managed models, routing, and privacy controls.
- Open the account menu for Usage remaining on the selected WhoseDev workspace.
- Visit Plans and billing to manage your subscription.
- Join or create a team workspace for shared AI budgets and members.
