# Sign in

> Come back with the email code OurChest sends you

Signing in uses the email on your account. OurChest sends a fresh 6-digit code. There is no password.

## How do I sign in? <a href="#sign-in" id="sign-in" />

1. On the welcome screen, tap **I already have an account**.
2. On **Welcome back**, enter your **Email**. The screen says **Sign in with your email. We send you a 6-digit code.**
3. Tap **Continue**.

Under the field, OurChest also says **We email you a 6-digit code. There is no password.**

**Sign in with Apple** and **Sign in with Google** are on this screen. They do not sign you in yet.

## How do I enter the code? <a href="#enter-the-code" id="enter-the-code" />

**Check your email** shows **Enter the 6-digit code we sent to** your address. Type the code from the email.

Tap **Send a new code** if you need another one. OurChest shows **New code sent**.

*Android. The iPhone screen uses the same code boxes.*

## What if the code does not work? <a href="#code-does-not-work" id="code-does-not-work" />

OurChest says **That code did not work. Check it or send a new one.**

Look at the email again, or tap **Send a new code**. Use the newest code. An older one will not work.

## Can I join without an account? <a href="#join-without-an-account" id="join-without-an-account" />

Yes. On the sign-in screen, tap **Join with an invite link** or **Scan QR code**. You join that Chest with your name. You can [add an email later](../account/guest) if you want the Chest on another phone.

Those two buttons are also in the **+** menu on the Chests screen. [Join a Chest](../people/join) and [Scan a QR code](../people/scan-a-qr-code) explain each one.
