Signing in with Google or LinkedIn

You can make a #NotesApp account with Google or LinkedIn and sign in with it afterwards, on the website, the app, Notes Life and Naija Exam Prep.

New here: on Sign up or Sign in, tap Continue with Google or Continue with LinkedIn and choose your account. The first time, you finish your account just like an email sign-up: choose Personal or Organisation, your display name and @username, tell us what you do if you like, tick that you are 18 or older (on Naija Exam Prep, students under 18 get teen mode) and accept the Terms and Privacy Policy. Then follow a few journals. Google and LinkedIn confirm your email, so there is no verification link to click.

Already have an account: link Google or LinkedIn to it first. Sign in the way you usually do, open Account settings → Sign-in methods and tap Link Google or Link LinkedIn. From then on, Continue with Google or LinkedIn signs you in to that account. We email you every time a new sign-in method is linked; if it wasn't you, unlink it there and change your password.

"You already have a #NotesApp account": if you tap Continue with Google or LinkedIn and that email already has an account, we don't join them on our own, to keep your account safe. Sign in with your password or a passkey, then link it under Sign-in methods. After Google asks, signing in with your password on the same page links Google straight away.

Unlinking: under Sign-in methods, tap Unlink. You always keep at least one way to sign in, so the last one can't be removed: add a password (use Reset password to set one), a passkey or the other account first.

Good to know: LinkedIn sign-in only reads your name, picture and confirmed email; it never posts. Posting your journals to LinkedIn is a separate switch (Publish to LinkedIn). An account made with Google or LinkedIn has no password until you set one with Reset password. Deleting your account removes its Google and LinkedIn links too.
