Keeping your account safe

Your account holds your drafts, your published work, and your community. A few simple habits keep all of it yours.

Never paste code into your browser console

Every browser has a hidden developer console, a tool built for engineers. If you open it, you may notice a friendly note from Lupin and a warning in red.

That warning is there for a reason. A common scam tells you to copy something and paste it into the console to “unlock free Pro,” “see who viewed your profile,” or “recover a locked account.” None of those features work that way. Pasting code there runs it with full access to your logged-in account. A stranger can take over your account and your writing in seconds.

The rule is short: never paste anything into the browser console unless you wrote it yourself and know exactly what it does. Inkbreaker will never ask you to.

How to spot a scam

Real Inkbreaker features live inside the app, in menus and buttons you can see. Be suspicious of anyone, in a comment, a message, the forum, or an email, who asks you to:

• Paste code anywhere to “enable” something.
• Visit an outside site to “verify” your account or claim a prize.
• Share your password, a login link, or a one-time code.
• Move the conversation off Inkbreaker to “finish” a payment or a deal.

When something feels off, it usually is. You can report it from the Report option on any profile, post, or message.

Sign in safely

• We sign you in with Google or Discord. We never ask for your password in a chat, a comment, or an email.
• Check the address bar before you sign in. The real site is inkbreaker.com.
• If you share a computer, sign out when you finish, and use Preferences › Account to review your active sessions.

If you think your account was reached

Sign out everywhere from Preferences › Account, then sign back in. Change your Google or Discord password if you shared anything. If your writing was copied or your work was changed, see Protecting your work and reach out from the Support page. We can place a legal hold on stolen work and help you sort it out.

Your writing is yours. We will never ask you to give up control of it to keep it.
