Without Last Sign-in
- Juggle Google / GitHub / SSO / password
- Forget which account path worked last time
- Retry until something sticks

Last Sign-in
Remembers how you signed in — Google, GitHub, SSO, password — never your passwords, emails, cookies, or tokens. Everything stays on this device.
The quiet gap
You open a login screen with eight buttons. Last month it was Google. Or was it GitHub? Or the work email? You guess wrong, bounce through OAuth, and waste another minute. Password managers store secrets — they don’t tell you which method you used.
Stop guessing the button
Last Sign-in keeps a local memory of the method that worked — so the next visit starts with a clear LAST USED cue, not a coin flip.
With Last Sign-in
- LAST USED / LAST SELECTED on the method
- Optional name or email label for manual saves
- Local storage only — no cloud account
See it in action
Welcome popup, settings, Product Hunt with a manual Last used badge, and the popup when auto-detect needs a hand.
How it works
Per-site enable. Method type only. Badges when we can; honest fallback when we can’t.
Install the zip
Unzip the release, open chrome://extensions, turn on
Developer mode, Load unpacked → select the folder with
manifest.json.
Open a sign-in page
Click the extension → Enable on this site.
Sign in as usual
We try to mark the method you used. Next visit, look for LAST USED / LAST SELECTED.
If auto misses — Manual mode
Choose the method in the popup. Optionally add a name or email label as a local reminder. One save; reminders after that.
Manual mode when auto can’t win
Some login UIs use icon-only buttons, shadow DOM, or canvas-heavy widgets. We can’t always pin a badge to the exact control — and we refuse to scrape passwords or emails to “guess harder.”
One manual save. Local forever.
On Product Hunt–style screens, save Google once, optionally add a name or email label as your private reminder, and we’ll show Last used (manual) next time — still never scraping the page.
Where Manual shines
- Product Hunt–style icon rows (Google / Apple / Facebook)
- Heavily customized SSO widgets
- Sites where DOM labels don’t match the real provider
Make Manual even easier
- Pick the method once (e.g. Google)
- Add an optional name or email label — stored locally only
- Next visit: Last used (manual) + your label
Honest limitations
Built to be useful without pretending every site works like first-party “Last used” on Lovable or Supabase.
Not every button can be auto-detected
Icon-only OAuth and some custom auth UIs need Manual mode. That’s a feature of being privacy-safe, not a bug to paper over.
We never read passwords or emails from the page
If you type a name/email into Manual mode, it’s a reminder label you chose — not scraped form data.
Chrome only (MV3) for now
Firefox packaging exists in the toolchain but is not the polished line yet.
Per-site permission
Nothing runs until you Enable on that site. No broad always-on scrape of the web.
Privacy by default
Local-only storage. No analytics SDK. No Last Sign-in cloud. Full policy: privacy.md.
Stored
Origin, method type, optional label, timestamps, preferences.
Never stored
Passwords, cookies, tokens, scraped emails, browsing history.
You control
Forget one site or delete all records from Settings.

Why I built this
Same quiet failure, over and over: I forgot which sign-in path I used last time, and I was juggling Google, GitHub, SSO, and password across work and side projects.
The bind
Session cookies expire. Sites offer five “Continue with…” buttons. Password managers fill secrets — they don’t point at the method. I kept guessing wrong.
What I needed
A small local memory for method type only. Badges when possible. Manual + optional name/email label when auto can’t see the button. No cloud. No credential harvest.

FAQ
Does this store my password?
No. Never. Method type and optional labels you type yourself only.
Why Manual on Product Hunt?
Icon-only Google / Apple / Facebook buttons often can’t be pinned reliably. Save Google once with Manual — add a name/email label if you want — and you’re set.
Is there a Chrome Web Store listing?
Yes — Add to Chrome. GitHub zip remains available for developers.
License?
MIT. Free to use, fork, and share.
