Getting started

Sign in

Logging in, staying logged in, and what to do when the form pushes back.

Log in at /login with the email and password you registered with. Sessions are held server-side, so closing the tab does not sign you out.

Signing in

  1. 1

    Enter your email and password

    The same address you verified. Passwords are case sensitive.

  2. 2

    Press Log in

    You land on /new, ready to describe a module. If you were reading a shared link or a docs page, that is where you started from, not where you return to.

When the form pushes back

The login form shows the reason the server gave, rather than a generic failure. That distinction matters, so here is what each one means:

MessageWhat to do
Incorrect passwordCheck caps lock; the account exists and the address is right.
No account with that emailNothing is registered under that address. Try signing up instead.
Please verify your email firstThe account exists but was never confirmed. Finish verification.
Your session expiredYou were signed in and the session ran out. Log in again; nothing was lost.

Staying signed in, and signing out

The browser holds only a session identifier; the session itself lives on our side. If a request comes back saying the session expired, the app sends you to the login page and brings you back to your work afterwards.

To sign out, open the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Log out. That ends the session everywhere it was being used from that browser.
