# Sign in to PostQueen

> Sign in with your email and password, with Google or with a code sent to your inbox, and get back in when you forgot your password.

**Where:** [app.postqueen.ai](https://app.postqueen.ai/auth/login), the **Welcome back** page.

There are three ways in: your email and password, your Google account, or a code PostQueen emails you. They all open the same account when the email address is the same.

## Sign in with your password

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the sign-in page">
    Go to [app.postqueen.ai](https://app.postqueen.ai/auth/login). On the sign-up page, choose **Sign In** instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your details">
    Fill in **Email** and **Password**, then choose **Sign in**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

To make an account instead, choose **Create a new account** or **Create one**.

## Other ways in

* **Continue with Google** signs you in with your Google account. If a PostQueen account already uses that Google address, you land in it. If not, a new account is created.
* **Email me a sign-in code**, under **Sign in**, needs no password. Enter your **Email**, choose **Send code**, then type the 6-digit code from the email "Your PostQueen sign-in code" and choose **Sign in**. The code works for 10 minutes. **Resend code** sends a new one, and **Use a different email** starts over. A code for an address with no account creates one.

## Reset your password

<Steps>
  <Step title="Ask for a link">
    Choose **Forgot password?** next to **Password**, enter your **Email** and choose **Send reset link**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the email">
    The link in the email works for 20 minutes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a new password">
    Fill in **New Password** and **Repeat Password**, then choose **Change password**. "Your password is updated. You can sign in with it now."
  </Step>
</Steps>

If you only ever signed in with Google or a code, you can also add a password later in **Settings > Account**. See [Settings](/using/settings).

## Activate your account

PostQueen may ask you to activate an account made with an email and a password, from a link in the email it sends when you sign up. Until you do, signing in shows "Your account is not activated yet. Please check your email for the activation link."

If the email is lost, choose **Resend Activation Email**, enter your **Email** and choose **Resend Activation Email** again. You can ask again after 60 seconds. Signing in with **Email me a sign-in code** also activates the account, because the code proves the inbox is yours.

## If something goes wrong

| --------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| “Invalid user name or password”                           | Check the email and the password, or use **Forgot password?** or **Email me a sign-in code**. |
| “Invalid or expired code”                                 | The code is wrong or more than 10 minutes old. Choose **Resend code**.                        |
| “Too many attempts, request a new code”                   | Five wrong codes end that code. Ask for a new one.                                            |
| “Your password reset link has expired. Please try again.” | Ask for a new link with **Forgot password?**.                                                 |
| “Could not start sign-in, please try again”               | Google sign-in did not open. Try again, or sign in another way.                               |
