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

1
Navigate to email sign-in

From the main sign-in screen, tap "Sign in with Email" or the email icon button.

2
Enter your email address

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.

3
Create a password

Enter a password that is at least 6 characters long.

💡TIP

Use a password manager to generate and store a strong, unique password for Notesmakr.

4
Verify your email

You'll receive a 6-digit verification code via email. Enter the code in the app to verify your email address and activate your account.

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.

5
Start studying

Once your email is verified, you'll be signed in automatically and taken to the Notes tab ready to create your first note!

Signing In to an Existing Account

Already have an account? Here's how to sign in:

1
Open the email sign-in screen

From the main sign-in page, tap "Sign in with Email".

2
Enter your credentials

Type your registered email address and password.

3
Tap Sign In

If your credentials are correct, you'll be signed in immediately and taken to your Notes tab.

⚠️WARNING

Make sure you're entering the correct email address. If you signed up with SSO (Google/Apple), that is a separate account.

Forgot Your Password?

Don't worry—it happens! Here's how to reset it:

1
Tap 'Forgot Password?'

On the email sign-in screen, look for the "Forgot Password?" link and tap it.

2
Enter your email address

Type the email address associated with your Notesmakr account.

3
Check your email

You'll receive a 6-digit verification code via email. Enter the code in the app when prompted.

4
Create a new password

After verifying the code, enter and confirm your new password. It must be at least 6 characters long.

5
Sign in with your new password

Once your password is reset, sign in using your email and new password.

📌REMEMBER

Verification codes expire after a short period for security reasons. If your code has expired, just request a new one.

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

"Invalid email or password" 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

Not receiving verification or reset emails?

  1. Check your spam/junk folder
  2. Make sure you entered the correct email address
  3. Wait 5-10 minutes—sometimes emails are delayed
  4. Try requesting a new email
  5. Check if your email provider is blocking emails from Notesmakr

Account already exists

If you see this message, it means 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
