Your account
Sign in, activate your account, and manage your password and providers.
Logging in
Login and sign-up are one page. Enter your work email and select Continue.
- A new email opens a new workspace for you right away.
- A known email with a password asks for the password. Forgot password? sends a reset link.
- A known email without a password gets a one-time sign-in link by email. It expires after 1 hour and works once.
You can also use Continue with Google or Continue with Microsoft. After too many attempts in a short time, Machine QR asks you to wait a minute.
Activating a pending account
An account created with an email starts as pending. You can work in the workspace at once, and a banner reminds you to activate. Open the activation link in your email to confirm the address; Resend link sends a new one. A login link also activates the account.
Until you activate, you cannot open workspace settings, set a password, or link a sign-in provider. After activation, the owner of a new workspace chooses its handle, the @name in QR links.
Passwords and providers
Open the workspace menu and select Profile.
- Password: Set password adds one, so you can sign in without an email link. Passwords need at least 8 characters.
- Sign-in providers: link Google or Microsoft to sign in with them.
- Email: a change sends a confirmation link to the new address first. If a sign-in provider manages your email, you cannot change it here.
- Theme and Language apply to you only.
Switching workspaces
Open the workspace menu and select Select workspace, then the workspace. The address in your browser changes with it, so links to a workspace always open the right one.
Creating another workspace
In the same Select workspace menu, select Create. Enter a workspace name and a workspace URL. You become its owner.
To join someone else's workspace, open the invitation link from your email. See Members and roles.
