Account and sign-in links (no passwords)

How signing in works

There is no password. On the log in page you type your email and we send a link. Tap it, press Continue on the page that opens, and you are in your dashboard. The link works once and for 20 minutes; ask for a new one whenever you need it. You stay signed in on that device for about three months, or until you log out.

The Continue step is there on purpose: some email services open every link to scan it, and without that step they would use up your link before you could.

Claiming an invitation you made without signing in

You can build an invitation before we know who you are. On the page after saving, enter your email and press Send my link. The link that arrives both signs you in and attaches the invitation to that address. Do this on the same phone or computer you created it on, and do it soon — publishing and paying need the invitation to be yours.

The email did not arrive

• Check spam or promotions, and give it a minute.
• Check the address for typos and try again. For safety only a handful of links can be live for one address at a time, so wait a little if you asked several times.
• Ask for the link on the device you want to use; a link opened on your laptop signs in your laptop, not your phone.

Your account page

Account lists your invitations with their status, your payments and receipts, and the log-out button. To change the email on your account or to close it, write to us from the current address.
