> What the account is for, how to sign in, and why the Panel is independent.

**STYGION ID** is one account for the whole ecosystem. You sign in with it wherever a product uses it. It's not a product for sale — it's the **identity layer** (it lives inside our backend).

## Signing in

No password — sign in with an account you already have:

- **Discord**
- **Microsoft**
- **GitHub**
- **Google**

Your account is **created on first sign-in**. You sign in at **[stygion.eu/id](https://stygion.eu/id)**.

## What it's for

One account across services: linked identities (Discord, Microsoft, GitHub, Google), friends and chat, notifications, **tickets**, and avatars. What has been added is at [stygion.eu/updates](https://stygion.eu/updates).

- **Tickets** — report from web or launcher; private Discord channel for you and the team; replies mirror both ways.
- **Legal pages** — [Terms](https://stygion.eu/terms) and [Privacy](https://stygion.eu/privacy) (CZ + EN).
- **Microsoft link** — connect Microsoft next to Discord, GitHub and Google.
- **Avatars** — Discord profile pictures for you and friends in the launcher.
- **Play buttons** — whoever makes a Play button for their server makes it from their account, so the button belongs to somebody. See [A Play button for your server](/docs/launcher/play-tlacitko).
- **Gifts** — redeem a gift code (VIP on STYGION MC for 1, 3 or 12 months) at [stygion.eu/redeem](https://stygion.eu/redeem); the codes you bought are in your account under [Gifts](https://stygion.eu/account/gifts). A code is valid for 12 months from payment and is used once. A rank needs a Minecraft name linked to your account (the `/link` command in game).

## The Panel is independent

One exception to note: the **[Panel](/docs/panel/prvni-spusteni) has its own sign-in** (email + password) and does **not** depend on STYGION ID — you self-host it and it's meant to work fully outside our ecosystem. You can optionally link a STYGION ID to a Panel for the subscription.
