How does Pandafile sign-in work without a password?
Pandafile never asks for a password. You type your email address, we send you a 6-digit code or a sign-in link, and using it signs you in.
Pandafile does not use passwords at all. There is nothing to choose, nothing to remember and nothing to reset. Your email address is your account, and each time you sign in we check that the inbox is really yours.
How it works
- Go to Sign in in the top corner of any Pandafile page.
- Type your email address and press Email me a link.
- Open the email from Pandafile and tap Sign in. You are now signed in on that browser.
- If you are sending files by email from the upload page, you get a 6-digit code instead. Type it in and you are confirmed.
If the email address is new to us, this also creates your account. There is no separate sign-up form.
Do I need an account at all?
Not to share a link. Anyone can drop files in and copy a download link without signing in. You need to confirm your email when you send files by email, so we know the message really comes from you, and you need an account to see your transfers or to go Pro.
Why no passwords?
- No password to leak: we store no passwords, so there is none to steal from us.
- No reused passwords: a password you use elsewhere can never unlock Pandafile.
- Short-lived: codes work for 15 minutes and sign-in links for 20 minutes, and a link works only once.
- Simple: anyone who can read their email can sign in.
What if the email does not arrive?
Wait a minute, then check your spam or junk folder and any Promotions or Updates tab. Make sure the address is spelt correctly. You can always ask for a new code or link; only the newest one matters.
