Signing in, passwords, invitations

How you get into your account, what happens with a forgotten password, and how an invitation is accepted.

Signing in

With an address and a password, or through Google. Anyone signing in through Google has no password and does not need one; they can set one through Forgot password if they want.

Forgotten password

You give your address and get a link. The application does not say whether that address exists: the answer is always that a mail is on its way if the address could be used. Anything else would be a statement about who has an account here.

Confirming the address

A new account gets a confirmation link valid for 24 hours. Without confirming you cannot get in, and that is the point: a typo in the address should not lead to an account nobody can reach. If nothing arrives, check the spam folder and use the button to send again.

Accepting an invitation

The link from the invitation mail leads straight to creating the account; the address is already fixed. Anyone who already has an account signs in and accepts the invitation that way. It is valid for seven days.

Step by step

  1. On the sign-in page, enter your address and password, or choose Google.
  2. For a forgotten password, choose Forgot password and give your address.
  3. Open the link from the mail and set a new password.
  4. For an invitation, follow the link from the invitation mail instead.

I get no email.

Check the spam folder. Sign-in and invitation mails go out through the system sender and not through your account's outgoing mail, so they come from a different address than the rest of your post.

The link has expired.

A confirmation link lasts 24 hours, an invitation seven days. Both can be sent again afterwards.

I changed my password and am signed out everywhere.

That is deliberate. Changing a password ends every other session, since that is usually why people change it.

Can I be signed in to several accounts?

You sign in once and switch between the accounts you are a member of at the top left.

Can I create an account myself?

That depends on whether sign-up is open. If it is not, new accounts only come about through an invitation.
