Open Accounts, choose Connect and pick a platform. You sign in on the platform's own page and approve Postatron there; Postatron never sees your password.

Your handle and an app password
See below.
Bluesky
Bluesky signs in with an app password rather than a sign-in page. In Bluesky, open Settings, Privacy and security, App passwords, add one called Postatron, and paste it with your handle. You can revoke it in Bluesky at any time.
Platforms hand out access that expires. Postatron renews it for you, and tells you early when it cannot.

@yourbrandXNeeds reconnecting
Each account says whether it can post. One that cannot shows a Reconnect button.
Instagram and Threads access lasts 60 days and is renewed every day in the background, so it never runs out while you use Postatron.
When an account needs you to sign in again, a banner says how many scheduled posts would fail, and you get an email. Postatron warns you up to seven days before access runs out.
Reconnecting the same account picks your scheduled posts back up. It does not count as a new account on your plan.
The composer will not schedule a post to an account that needs reconnecting, so nothing fails silently.
Disconnect an account from its card on the Accounts page. Postatron deletes its stored access straight away; for YouTube it also revokes the permission at Google. Posts already published stay on the platform.
How many accounts you can connect depends on your plan: 5 on Starter, 15 on Growth and 50 on Scale. See Plans and billing.
