Account & Sign-In
Your Yucts Travel account is your 櫻佑旅遊 forum (forum.yucts.com) account; the app and the forum share the same account. Signing in and managing your account happen on the Account tab of the settings window.
To open it: press ⌘,, choose "Yucts → Settings…" in the menu bar, or click the gear at the bottom of the sidebar, then switch to the "Account" tab. If you aren't signed in, you can also click "Login" at the bottom of the sidebar.
Signing In
When you aren't signed in, the Account tab shows "Sign In to YUCTS" (sign in to sync itineraries, join the forum, and enable AI search of YUCTS sources).
Username and Password
- Enter your "Username or Email" and "Password", then click "Login" (or press Return).
- If your account uses two-step verification, the "Two-step verification" screen appears. Under "Verification method", choose "Authenticator app", "Email verification code", "Backup code", or "SMS verification code". For methods that send a code, click "Send Code". Enter the code and click "Verify".
Sign in with Apple
Click the "Sign in with Apple" button to sign in with your Apple Account. The first time you sign in with Apple, a new YUCTS account is created.
Below the sign-in form, the app explains that by continuing you agree to the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy and follow the community guidelines (no harassment, hate, or objectionable content; you can report content that breaks the rules and block other users).

The Account Tab After Signing In

YUCTS Account
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Membership | Shows "Standard" or "Yucts Plus". Click "Upgrade…" or "Manage…" to open Yucts Plus; see Yucts Plus Subscription. |
| Phone verification | Click "Manage…", enter your phone number in E.164 international format (with the country code, for example +886912345678 in Taiwan), click "Send code", enter the 6-digit code, and click "Confirm". Once verified, you can use "Verify another number" to change it. |

The site team reviews it manually. |
| Change username | Appears only for Yucts Plus members (VIP Exclusive). Under the site's policy, you may need to wait between changes, and some changes take effect only after a moderator approves them. |
Sign-In & Security
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Passkeys | Shows how many you've set up. |
| Signed-in devices | The devices signed in to your YUCTS account (this Mac is labeled "This Mac"). |
| Forum web sessions | How many browsers are signed in to the forum. |
| Account Security | Click "Manage…" to see your two-step verification status, revoke sign-ins on other devices or browsers, and delete passkeys. |
- When you revoke a browser's sign-in, its "stay logged in" ends immediately, and it needs your username and password next time.
- On the Mac, passkeys can only be viewed and deleted. Add them on an iPhone, an iPad, or the website. Deleting your last passkey doesn't lock your account; afterward, sign in with your password or with Apple. The macOS version can't sign in with a passkey.
- Manage your password and two-step verification on the website: in Account Security, click "Manage Password and Two-Step Verification on the Website".
Notifications & Privacy
- Push notifications & sounds: click "Go to Notifications" to switch to the Notifications tab; see Notifications & Widgets.
- Ignored List: click "Manage…" to see the users you ignore, and click "Unignore" to stop ignoring someone. Threads and replies from ignored users are no longer shown.
Others
- Sign out: click "Sign out". The app first stops push notifications to this Mac and then clears your member data from this Mac. Your trips are stored in your iCloud and aren't affected.
- Delete Account: see below.
Deleting Your Account
- On the Account tab, click "Delete…" next to Delete Account.
- Review the data that can't be recovered after deletion: all threads and posts you've written, private messages and conversations, bookmarks, follows and notification history, and your profile and avatar. You can optionally give a "Reason for leaving".
- Enter your username to confirm, then click "Permanently delete my account".
- When "Account deletion scheduled" appears, you're signed out automatically. Your account is permanently deleted after a grace period; sign in again during the grace period to cancel the deletion.
Deleting your account doesn't cancel a Yucts Plus subscription in the App Store. Cancel it separately in the App Store; see Yucts Plus Subscription.
