## Sign in with email and password

  <Step title="Open the sign-in page">

    **Sign in** from the top navigation.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your credentials">
    Type your **Email** and **Password**, then click **Sign in**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="(Optional) Complete MFA">
    If you've turned on multi-factor authentication, Time2Bike asks how you
    want to receive your one-time code:

    * **Text message** — sent to the phone number on your account.
    * **Email** — sent to your account email.

    Pick a method, click **Send code**, then enter the 6-digit code and
    click **Verify code**. Click **Resend** if it doesn't arrive.

  </Step>
</Steps>

After a successful sign-in you land on your dashboard, unless you were
mid-registration — in which case Time2Bike sends you back to where you
left off.

## Forgot your password?

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Forgot password">
    On the sign-in page, click **Forgot password?**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your email">

    if the address is registered.

    password.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in with the new password">
    Old sessions are signed out automatically after a password change.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verifying your email

If you didn't confirm your email when you signed up, click the link in your
welcome email or open
`https://time2.bike/auth/verify-email/[code]` from the email. After
verification you can sign in normally.

## Managing active sessions

You can review every browser and device that's signed in to your account,
and sign them out individually, from
[Account → Sessions](/riders/account/security-and-sessions).

## Trouble signing in?

* **"Invalid email or password"** — double-check the email; if you have
  multiple, try them all.
* **"MFA code invalid"** — codes expire after a few minutes. Click
  **Resend** to get a fresh one.
* **Stuck on the MFA screen** — click **Back** to return to the password
  step.
* Still locked out? Email support from the help link at the bottom of the
  sign-in page.
