--- id: "changelog/sign-in-with-email-code" type: "changelog" url: "https://affitor.com/changelog/sign-in-with-email-code" updated: "2026-10-19" --- # Sign in or sign up with a code from your email > Enter your email on the sign-in or sign-up page and Affitor emails you a six-digit code that signs you in or creates your account. Sign in to Affitor, or create your account, with a six-digit code sent to your email at [affitor.com/login](https://affitor.com/login). Until this week, using your email meant a password: you typed one to sign in, and to sign up you chose one, typed it twice and then clicked a verification link. Now your email gets a code instead. Google sign-in and sign-up work as before. ## How it works - **Enter your email**: click **Email me a code** to sign in, or **Create account** to sign up. - **Enter the code**: type or paste the six digits, and they submit themselves. - **One code at a time**: a code works once, for 10 minutes, and a new one replaces it. ## Sign in On [the sign-in page](https://affitor.com/login), enter your email and click **Email me a code**. **Check your email** shows where the code went. Type or paste the code from the email titled "Your Affitor sign-in code", and you are signed in. There is no button to press. ## Sign up On [the sign-up page](https://affitor.com/signup), pick **I'm a brand** or **I'm a partner**, enter your email and click **Create account**. Enter the code and your account is ready, with no password to choose and no verification link to open. The code works the same on both pages: if an account already uses that email, it signs you in; if none does, it creates one. ## If the code does not work - **That code is wrong or has expired.** means the code was mistyped or is more than 10 minutes old. After five wrong tries, a code stops working. - **Resend code** appears a minute after each send. After a wrong code, it reads **Send a new code**. - **Use a different email** takes you back to the first step. ## Prefer a password? On the sign-in page, **Use password** opens the email and password form, and **Email me a code instead** brings the code back. ## Conclusion Signing in or up with your email now starts with a code; on the sign-in page, **Use password** still opens the password form.

Enter an email and click Email me a code; Affitor emails a six-digit code in an email titled Your Affitor sign-in code. - On https://affitor.com/signup, pick I'm a brand or I'm a partner, enter an email and click Create account; the same kind of code is sent. - The next screen, Check your email, shows six boxes. Typing or pasting the six digits signs you in; there is no submit button. - If an account already uses that email, the code signs in to it. If none does, the code creates the account, with no password and no verification link. - A code works once, for 10 minutes. A new code replaces the previous one, and five wrong tries end a code. - Resend code appears one minute after a send, and reads Send a new code after a wrong code. Use a different email returns to the first step. - Use password on the sign-in page opens the email and password form; Email me a code instead returns to the code. Google sign-in and sign-up are unchanged. ### UI labels - `Sign in to your account` - `Sign in with Google` - `Email` - `Email me a code` - `Use password` - `Email me a code instead` - `Create your account` - `I'm a brand` - `I'm a partner` - `Sign up with Google` - `Create account` - `Check your email` - `Sent to` - `Resend code` - `Send a new code` - `Use a different email` - `That code is wrong or has expired.` - `Too many attempts. Wait a minute and try again.` ### Avoid - Saying passwords are removed or stop working (Use password keeps the password form) - A code length other than six digits, or an expiry other than 10 minutes - A Verify, Submit or Continue button on the code step (the code submits itself) - Saying sign-up with email asks for a password, a name or a verification link - A Use password link on the sign-up page (it is only on sign-in) - A sign-in link in the email (the email holds a code, not a magic link) - Applying to a program from the marketplace with a code (not part of this entry) - How many codes you can ask for in an hour, rate limits, or how codes are stored ### CTA [Sign in to your account](https://affitor.com/login) ### Media - Banner: light https://affitor.com/docs/changelog/sign-in-with-email-code/banner-light.png, dark https://affitor.com/docs/changelog/sign-in-with-email-code/banner-dark.png - Image (The Sign in to your account page with an email entered above the Email me a code button, and Use password below it): light https://affitor.com/docs/changelog/sign-in-with-email-code/login-light.png, dark https://affitor.com/docs/changelog/sign-in-with-email-code/login-dark.png, raw https://affitor.com/docs/changelog/sign-in-with-email-code/login-raw.png
