How to Sign In to ConnectPi with Pi Network

ConnectPi utilizes official Pi Network Authentication so Pioneers can seamlessly create an account and sign in without remembering separate passwords. Your account is securely linked to your verified Pi identity.

There are two primary methods to sign in depending on whether you are using the mobile Pi Browser or an external browser.

Frequently Asked Questions#

Can I change my display name after signing in?#

Yes. Your Pi username is permanently attached as your unique Pioneer identifier, but you can set and update your custom profile display name, bio, and avatar anytime under Profile Settings.

What happens if I click 'Decline'?#

If you select Decline on the Pi permissions modal, ConnectPi cannot verify your Pi account, and you will not be able to log in. You can simply tap Continue with Pi again and choose Allow whenever you are ready.
