We’re updating how authentication works on the Gradle Forums.
What’s changing
Historically, forum accounts have been tied to Plugin Portal authentication. We are now migrating to a unified Gradle Identity, powered by Auth0.
This unified identity will be used across Gradle services, including DPE University, Forums, and more.
What this means for you
-
You will log in using the new unified Gradle identity
-
Existing accounts will be automatically merged where possible
-
You may be asked to authenticate with a different GitHub app if you used this method
-
You’ll be able to use more login methods
-
If you use password login, your credentials will remain the same
Why we’re making this change
-
Improved security through a modern identity platform
-
Simpler and more consistent login experience across Gradle services
-
Better foundation for future improvements
Current vs. target state
-
Today: Forum access is tied to Plugin Portal authentication
-
Target: A single unified Gradle identity across all services (DPE University, Plugin Portal, Forums, etc.)
What’s next
- The Plugin Portal will be the next service to adopt the unified Gradle identity, with more updates to follow.
