M5Burner Login and M5Stack Accounts

Which account does M5Burner use?

M5Burner signs in with an M5Stack community account, the same one used by UIFlow2, the M5Stack forum and WebBurner. Creating one is free. You can register from the login screen in M5Burner, in UIFlow, or on the web version by choosing Register.

When do you need to log in?

How to log in on the desktop app

1. Open M5Burner and click the login button in the top-right corner.
2. Enter the email and password of your M5Stack account, or choose Register to create one.
3. After logging in, your username appears in the corner and USER CUSTOM features become available.

What is device binding?

When you burn UIFlow2, M5Burner links the device to your M5Stack account. After that, the device appears in the UIFlow2 web IDE under your account once it connects to Wi-Fi, so you can push programs to it wirelessly. The UIFlow2 IDE must be logged in with the same account as M5Burner.

Binding also explains a common surprise: a second-hand device, or one set up by a classmate, may still be tied to someone else's account. Burning it again while logged in as you, or removing it from the original account in UIFlow2, resolves this.

Fixing login problems

• Login button does nothing: check your internet connection and any firewall or proxy that blocks the app. Restart M5Burner.
• Wrong password: reset it from the M5Stack community login page, then try again.
• Device doesn't appear in UIFlow2: confirm both tools use the same account and that the device joined Wi-Fi after burning.
• School or office network: some networks block the services M5Burner talks to. Try another network to confirm.

Shared and classroom devices

In a classroom or lab, decide in advance which account will own the devices. A single teacher account keeps every device visible in one UIFlow2 dashboard. Individual student accounts give each learner their own device list but need re-binding when kits rotate between groups. Write the owning account on a label inside the kit box, and the binding questions mostly disappear.

Account privacy basics

Published firmware can be public or private. If you upload firmware under USER CUSTOM, check its visibility before sharing. Read publish and share firmware to understand what other users can see.
