Signing in & account security

Sign in your way — magic link, password, Google/Microsoft/Apple or a passkey — and recover access if you're locked out.

What it does

Threadwork supports passwordless magic-link sign-in by default, plus optional password, social (Google/Microsoft/Apple) and passkey (Face ID / Touch ID) sign-in. New people get a team created automatically on first sign-in; invited people join the team that invited them.

Where to find it

The sign-in page is at /auth/sign-in. Password recovery is at /auth/forgot-password.

Step by step

Sign in with a magic link

  1. Open /auth/sign-in.
  2. Enter your email and click Send magic link.
  3. Open the link within 15 minutes — it's single-use.

Sign in with a password

  1. On the sign-in page, click Use a password instead.
  2. Enter your email and password and click Sign in.

Reset a forgotten password

  1. Click Forgot password? on the sign-in page.
  2. Enter your email; if an account exists you'll get a reset link.
  3. Choose a new password (at least 8 characters).

What each screen shows

  • Sign-in card — email field, magic-link button, a link to switch to password mode, and any configured social providers.
  • Check your inbox — confirmation that a link was sent, with an option to use a different email.

Tips

  • Social sign-in buttons only appear when an administrator has configured that provider.
  • Magic links expire after 15 minutes and can only be used once.

Troubleshooting

  • Link expired — request a fresh one; each link lasts 15 minutes.
  • Wrong team after signing in — if you were invited, sign in with the exact email the invite was sent to.
