How do I sign up or sign in?

Sign up or log in with Google, Facebook or an email link, with no password. What to do if you can't log in or the email doesn't arrive.

Sign up or sign in to Wishpicks with Continue with Google, Continue with Facebook or Continue with email: the same buttons do both, and there's no password. The email option sends you a sign-in link that works for one hour.

Your account is made the first time you sign in. There's no Apple sign-in, and Google, Facebook and email open the same account when the address matches.

Steps

  1. Tap Sign in at the top of wishpicks.com (on a phone, it's in the ☰ menu). Already browsing without an account? Tap your profile picture, then Sign in.

  2. Using Google or Facebook? Tap Continue with Google or Continue with Facebook and confirm on the page that opens. You're in.

  3. Using email? Tap Continue with email, type your address and tap Continue with email again. "Check your email." means the link is on its way.

  4. Open the email from Wishpicks on the phone or computer you want to use, and tap its link within the hour. It signs in whichever device opens it.

  5. First time with email? Type your name at "What should we call you?" and tap Continue. People see it next to your lists and on lists you join.

I can't sign in. What do I do?

Use the same email as last time, because a different address opens a new, empty account; then ask for a fresh link with Continue with email and open it within the hour.

  • "That link has stopped working." It's old or already used, so tap Send a new link.

  • "We couldn't sign you in." The sign-in was interrupted, not refused, and your account is fine. Tap Try signing in again.

  • "We couldn't send the link. Check the address and try again." Usually it's a typo.

Lost access to that inbox? Google or Facebook still opens your Wishpicks account if it uses the same address; otherwise, chat with us ("How do I contact support?").

Can't edit a list you made without an account? See "Can I recover a list made without an account?".

What if I didn't get the sign-in email?

Check your spam folder first, then tap Send it again once its short countdown ends, or Use a different address if you mistyped yours.

Search your mailbox for "Your sign-in link" or "Wishpicks" and open the newest one. There's no separate email to confirm your address: the sign-in link does that. Expecting a list invitation instead? See "How do I join a list I was invited to?".

Tips

  • If email links keep landing in spam, use Google or Facebook instead: there's nothing to wait for.

  • Made lists without an account? Read "Do I need an account?" before you sign in, so they come with you.

  • On a shared or borrowed computer, sign out when you're done: tap your profile picture, then Sign out.
