Account & Sign-In

Familiar supports standard email and password sign-in, plus Google sign-in through Supabase authentication. Choose the method that will be easiest for you to repeat consistently across desktop and mobile.

• Use email and password if you want a fully separate app account.
• Use Google if that is already the account you use most often on your devices.
• Try not to mix methods accidentally for the same person unless you are sure the email identity matches.

1. 1Check your inbox and spam folder for verification or reset messages.
2. 2Open the email on the same device if possible when you are completing sign-in or reset steps.
3. 3If the link opens in an in-app browser and fails, copy it into your default browser and try again.
4. 4If you still cannot sign in, request a fresh reset email instead of reusing an older link.

You can use the same account on more than one device. The safest pattern is to use the exact same sign-in method on every device and let the app keep each session separately after you finish logging in.

• Keep your default browser updated.
• Finish sign-in in the same browser window that started it.
• Avoid stale tabs when testing a new custom domain or redirect setup.
• If you installed the app as a PWA, update or reinstall it after major auth-domain changes.

Most account issues come from identity confusion rather than a complicated technical failure. A little consistency around sign-in goes a long way.

• Do not share login credentials between multiple people.
• Log out on borrowed devices.
• Use a unique password if you choose email sign-in.
• Review family membership and remove people who no longer need access.
