## Summary

Point-Free now supports passwordless email login instead of requiring a GitHub account. Users who sign up with email can optionally link a GitHub account afterward from their account settings, and doing so grants a free episode credit redeemable on any subscriber-only episode.

## Questions this post answers

### Do I need a GitHub account to sign up for Point-Free now?

No, a GitHub account is no longer required. Point-Free now supports passwordless login using just an email address and a one-time code, and you can optionally connect a GitHub account later from account settings. Linking a GitHub account after signing up with email earns a free episode credit usable on any subscriber-only episode.
