Sign-in
Signing-in makes you a member and gives you access to FrontierNav's progress tracking and community features.
Sign-in with email
To sign-in, click the "Sign-in" link on the bottom left of the navigation drawer. It will open the sign-in modal. Any feature which requires signing-in will also open this modal.
From the sign-in modal, enter your email address and a sign-in link will be sent to it. Go to your email inbox and open the link to sign in.
Sign-in with a third-party
Alternatively you can use one of the listed third-party identity providers to sign-in. While this can be convenient, make sure you know the email address tied to the account so you can sign-in with email when needed. Go to settings to find your email address.
If you sign-in with multiple third-parties which use the same email address, you will sign-in to the same account.
Create an account
The first time you sign-in, a new account will be created for your email automatically. If you use a third-party which provides a name, your display name will also be set to that name. You can customise your account further in settings.
Email verification
It's important that you have a verified email address to access your account, even when using third-party identity providers. Usually your email will be verified automatically when you sign in. If it hasn't, go to settings and verify it.
Sign-out
To sign-out, go to settings, scroll all the way down and double-click the "Sign-out" button.
Questions and Answers
Can I sign-in with a password?
Not at the moment. To avoid dealing with account hijacking, weak passwords, phishing and general malicious intent, FrontierNav avoids using passwords. You can only sign-in through a sign-in link sent via email or through specific third-party identity providers such as Google.
Can I sign-in with my Apple ID?
Not at the moment. "Sign in with Apple" requires a $99 per year developer account. Paying that much just to provide a convenience for Apple's own customers doesn't make sense right now. The next best thing is to sign-in with your iCloud email instead.
Why does the email sign-in link go through Firebase?
FrontierNav uses Firebase to safely store user credentials. So the sign-in link will be handled by them.
