Sign in with Google or Apple

If you would rather not remember another password, sign in with the Google or Apple account you already use. Both options are on the sign-in and sign-up screens of the website and the app.

The first time

1. 1
   On the website or in the app, choose Continue with Google or Continue with Apple.
2. 2
   Google or Apple asks you to confirm. We receive your name, your email address and an identifier from them, and nothing else.
3. 3
   If this is your first LinkedWithin account, we ask you to accept our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy and to tick I confirm that I am 18 years of age or older, then choose Agree & join.

We only use an email address that Google or Apple has verified: if yours is not verified with them yet, verify it there first, then try again.

If you already have an email-and-password account

Sign in with Google or Apple using the same email address, and we open the account you already have. Everything is where you left it, and from then on either way in works. For Gmail, the address with or without dots or a +tag counts as the same; for other addresses it must match exactly, and a +tag form of an address that already has an account is refused.

If that account was never confirmed with the code we emailed, the Google or Apple sign-in confirms it instead: any password set during the unfinished sign-up is removed, we ask you to accept the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy yourself, and you can add a password with Forgot password. An account opened from a Family invitation or an invitation email is finished with its own code or link first.

Adding a password

An account created with Google or Apple has no password. If you also want to sign in with an email address and password, open the sign-in page, choose Forgot password, enter your account email and follow the code we send. After that you can sign in either way. This works only when we hold an email address for you.

Changing your password later

An account that has never had a password cannot use Change password in Settings. The password-reset route above is the way to add one.

A note on Apple

Apple lets you decide what to share with us. If no email address reaches us, we cannot email you, so some email-based steps, such as the code that confirms closing your account, are done from the app instead. The app cannot add an address yet; if you need one on your account, email contact@linkedwithin.com.
