Email Authentication
Sign in to Notesmakr using your email address and password
Email Authentication
Prefer to use a traditional email and password? Notesmakr offers email authentication as an alternative to SSO sign-in methods.
When to Use Email Authentication
Email sign-in is perfect if you:
- Don't have or prefer not to use Google/Apple accounts
- Want a dedicated email specifically for your study materials
- Need to comply with organizational email policies
- Prefer traditional username/password authentication
Creating a New Account
From the main sign-in screen, tap Continue with Email & Password (below the OR line). Then tap Sign Up under "Don't have an account?".
Type the email address you want to use for your Notesmakr account. Make sure it's an email you can access, as you'll need to verify it.
Enter a password that is at least 6 characters long.
You'll receive a 6-digit verification code by email. Enter it on the Verify Your Email screen and tap Verify & Complete Signup.
If you don't see the email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder. You can also tap Resend Code to request a new one.
Once your email is verified, you'll be signed in automatically. If this is your first sign-in, a short setup walks you through a welcome, your persona, your year of study (school persona only), your study scenario and a confirmation, then a quick spotlight tour and a first-task celebration. This first-run setup cannot be skipped, and then you land on Home. Then you can create your first note!
Signing In to an Existing Account
Already have an account? Here's how to sign in:
From the main sign-in page, tap Continue with Email & Password.
Type your registered email address and password.
If your credentials are correct, you'll be signed in immediately and taken to Home, where Study Desk is the first tab and Notes sits next to it.
Forgot Your Password?
Don't worry—it happens! Here's how to reset it:
On the email sign-in screen, tap the Forgot password? link under the password field.
Type the email address associated with your Notesmakr account.
You'll receive a 6-digit verification code via email. Enter the code in the app when prompted.
After verifying the code, enter and confirm your new password. It must be at least 6 characters long.
Once your password is reset, Notesmakr takes you back to the sign-in screen with the message "Password reset successful! Please sign in with your new password." Sign in using your email and new password.
Security Best Practices
Keep your account secure:
- Use a unique password: Don't reuse passwords from other services
- Keep your email secure: If someone accesses your email, they can reset your password
Troubleshooting
"The email or password you entered is incorrect." error
Double-check that:
- You're typing your email correctly (no extra spaces)
- Your password is correct (remember it's case-sensitive)
- You're using the same sign-in method you registered with
- You've confirmed your email, if you were asked to when signing up
Not receiving verification or reset emails?
- Check your spam/junk folder
- Make sure you entered the correct email address
- Wait 5-10 minutes—sometimes emails are delayed
- Try requesting a new email
- Check if your email provider is blocking emails from Notesmakr
Account already exists
If you see "An account with this email already exists. Try signing in instead.", someone has already registered with that email. Try:
- Signing in instead of creating a new account
- Using the password reset feature if you forgot your password
- Checking if you registered with SSO (Google/Apple) instead
