Magic Links
Sign in to Kindship without a password using magic links sent to your email.
Magic links let you sign in without remembering a password. Just enter your email, click a link, and you're in.
How Magic Links Work
- Enter your email — On the sign-in page, enter your email address
- Request magic link — Click "Send Magic Link"
- Check your email — Open the email you receive
- Click the link — You're automatically signed in
No password needed. The link proves you own the email address.

- Open your email and click the link

Benefits of Magic Links
No Password to Remember
Never forget your password again. Your email inbox is your key.
More Secure
No password means no password to steal. Magic links expire quickly and can only be used once.
Easy on Any Device
Signing in on a new device? Just request a magic link — no need to remember or type complex passwords.
Quick Access
For many users, checking email is faster than typing a password, especially on mobile.
Important Notes
Link Expiration
Magic links expire quickly for security:
- Usually valid for 15-60 minutes
- Can only be used once
- Request a new link if it expires
Check the Right Inbox
The link goes to the email you entered. Make sure you're checking the right inbox if you have multiple email accounts.
Click, Don't Copy
The link is designed to be clicked directly. If you copy-paste, make sure you get the entire URL.
Requesting a New Link
If your link expired or you didn't receive it:
- Go back to the sign-in page
- Enter your email again
- Click Resend Magic Link
You may need to wait a short time before requesting another link to prevent spam.
Troubleshooting
Email Not Arriving
Check your spam folder — Magic link emails sometimes get filtered. Look in spam, junk, or promotions folders.
Verify your email address — Make sure you typed it correctly without typos.
Wait a moment — Emails usually arrive within seconds but can sometimes take a few minutes.
Check your email filters — If you use email rules, make sure they're not redirecting Kindship emails.
Add to allowlist — Add kindship.ai to your email contacts or allowlist.
Link Not Working
Link expired — Request a new link if more than an hour has passed.
Already used — Each link works only once. Request a new one if needed.
Opened in wrong browser — The link should open in your default browser. If you click from an email app, make sure it opens in a real browser.
"Invalid Link" Error
This usually means:
- The link expired
- The link was already used
- The link was corrupted (maybe copied incompletely)
Request a new magic link to resolve the issue.
Security Considerations
Protect Your Email
Since your email is your key to Kindship, keep it secure:
- Use a strong password on your email account
- Enable two-factor authentication on your email
- Don't share email access with others
Public Computers
If you sign in via magic link on a public computer:
- Make sure to sign out of Kindship when done
- Sign out of your email as well
- Don't leave browser tabs open
Shared Email Access
If others can access your email, they could potentially sign in to your Kindship account. Consider using password-based sign-in if email security is a concern.
Combining with Other Methods
Magic links can coexist with other sign-in methods:
- Use magic links when convenient
- Fall back to password when email is slow
- Link social accounts for additional options
All methods access the same account — choose whatever works best in the moment.
