How do I sign in with the email link (magic link)?
Type your email on the Sign in page, press Email me a link, then tap Sign in in the email. The link works once and expires after 20 minutes.
A magic link is a one-time sign-in button sent to your email. Tapping it proves the inbox is yours and signs you in, with no password involved.
Sign in with a link
- Open pandafile.co and choose Sign in.
- Type your email address and press Email me a link. You will see Check your inbox.
- Open the email called Sign in to Pandafile.
- Tap the green Sign in button. Pandafile opens on your Dashboard and you are signed in.
Rules for the link
- It works once. After you use it, it is spent.
- It expires after 20 minutes.
- It signs in the browser that opens it. If you request the link on your laptop but tap it on your phone, your phone is the one that gets signed in.
The link has expired or was already used
You will see a message saying the link has expired or was already used. That is normal if you waited too long or tapped it twice. Just type your email again and request a new link.
Some work email systems scan links in incoming emails, which can use a link up before you tap it. If that keeps happening, ask your IT team to allow emails from Pandafile, or use a personal email address.
Did not ask for a link?
If you get a sign-in email you did not request, someone probably mistyped their address. Nobody can sign in unless they can open your email, so you can safely ignore it.
