Sign in with an email code
Use a short-lived email code to create or access your Logfire account without remembering another password.
- Open the Logfire sign-up page and enter your email address.
- Select Email me a code.
- Copy the six-digit code from the Your Logfire verification code email. The code expires after 10 minutes and works once.
- Enter the code in Logfire, then finish creating your organization and first project.
- Choose whether to set up an authenticator app now or later.
You can switch to Use a password instead before entering the code. Logfire keeps the email address you already entered.
On the email sign-in page, enter your address and select Email me a code. Enter the six-digit code from your email.
If your account has two-factor authentication, Logfire also asks for the current code from your authenticator app or one unused recovery code. The email proves access to your inbox; the authenticator remains a separate factor.
You can select Use your password at any time. After a successful sign-in, Logfire marks that method as Last used in the same browser so it is easier to recognize next time.
Password-backed accounts can disable email code sign-in:
- Sign in to Logfire.
- Open Settings → Profile.
- Turn Email code sign-in off.
Logfire invalidates codes that it issued before the setting changed. Password sign-in remains available. To turn email code sign-in on again, your account must have two-factor authentication and you must have signed in recently.
An account created without a password cannot turn off its only email sign-in method. To add one, open Org settings → General → Account connections and select Set up email and password. You can then disable email code sign-in from your profile.
Sign out, return to the email sign-in page, and request a new code. The message should arrive with a six-digit code, and the code should work once. If you disabled email code sign-in, Logfire does not deliver a login code for that account, and password sign-in still works.
Check spam and confirm that you used the same data region as your account. US and EU accounts are separate. See Choose a data region.
Request a new code. Each code expires after 10 minutes and becomes invalid after one successful use or after you change the email code sign-in setting.
Your account has two-factor authentication. Enter the current authenticator code or select Use recovery code. Email code sign-in does not bypass an authenticator that is already configured.
The account may use Google, GitHub, organization single sign-on, or a password-backed account that disabled email code sign-in. Return to the main sign-in page and use the method already connected to the account.
