Why we like it

Blender ID authentication ranks at 234 in the blender_extensions library and holds a 5-star rating from two reviews. As a former bundled add-on now maintained with limited support, it earns its place for a single, focused job: keeping your Blender ID login available to other add-ons.

What is Blender ID authentication?

Blender ID authentication is a Blender add-on that stores your Blender ID credentials for use with other add-ons. It sits in Blender's add-on preferences.

The add-on was part of the bundled set shipped with Blender 4.1 and is now offered as it is, with limited support. It requests network access, since it requires a connection to id.blender.org to sync preferences. The original authors are Sybren A. Stüvel, Francesco Siddi, and Inês Almeida.

Version 2.1.3 is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, and the add-on is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. At 11.2 KB, it can be added by dragging and dropping the file into Blender or by downloading it and installing from disk. It has been downloaded around 18,300 times from the blender_extensions library.

Who is Blender ID authentication best for?

Blender ID authentication is best for blender users who want to store their Blender ID credentials so other add-ons can make use of them.

How much does Blender ID authentication cost?

Blender ID authentication is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Blender ID authentication work with Blender 4.2 LTS?

Blender ID authentication lists compatibility with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so version 2.1.3 is intended to run on those releases. It was originally part of the bundled add-ons shipped with Blender 4.1 and is now distributed separately with limited support. If you're on 4.2 LTS or a later build, it should be supported. For behaviour on other Blender versions, check the developer's page, since compatibility beyond what's stated here isn't confirmed.

Why does Blender ID authentication need network access?

Blender ID authentication requests network access because it requires a connection to id.blender.org to sync preferences. This is the single permission the add-on asks for. Since its purpose is storing your Blender ID credentials for use with other add-ons, that connection is how it reaches the Blender ID service. You'll manage the add-on from Blender's add-on preferences, where it's located.

How do I install Blender ID authentication in Blender?

Blender ID authentication can be installed by dragging and dropping the file into Blender, or by downloading it and using Install from Disk. The download is around 11.2 KB in size. Once installed, you'll find the add-on in Blender's add-on preferences, which is where it's located and configured. It's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and lists compatibility with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer.

Is Blender ID authentication free to use?

Blender ID authentication is listed as free here, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For current licensing terms and any conditions attached to that license, check the developer's page. The add-on was previously part of Blender's bundled add-ons and is now offered as it is, with limited support, so ongoing maintenance may differ from actively developed extensions.
