Signing in to Mnemonica
Sign in with an email link, Google, Apple, a passkey or the Mnemonica app, on the web and on your phone.

Mnemonica has no passwords and no multi-factor authentication (MFA). You sign in with a one-time link that Mnemonica sends to your email, or with Google or Apple. Then you add a strong method: a passkey on a computer, or biometrics in the Mnemonica app on your portable device. After that, you sign in with one tap.
If you used a password or MFA before 17 October 2026: on that date, Mnemonica deletes your password and removes all your MFA methods. You do not need codes or backup codes any more. You can delete the Mnemonica entry from your authenticator app. Your email address does not change: it is still your username.
Ways to sign in
Each way to sign in gives a basic or a strong session.
| How you sign in | What you need | Session |
|---|---|---|
| Email link | Your inbox | Basic |
| Google or Apple | A Google or Apple account that you linked to Mnemonica | Basic |
| Passkey | The way you unlock your device: fingerprint, face or PIN | Strong |
| Mnemonica app | The app on your phone, unlocked with fingerprint, face or PIN | Strong |
| Phone and QR code | The app on your phone, to scan the QR code on a computer | Strong |
Some Projects are marked Strong: they open only to a strong session. See Strong Projects.
Sign in with an email link
You can always use the email link. You need only your inbox.
Web app
Type your email address
On the Passwordless login tab, type the email address of your Mnemonica account in Email Address. Then click Send me a sign-in link.
Mnemonica sends you an email with a link.
Open the email on the computer that you want to use
Mnemonica signs in the device where you open the link. This is not always the device where you asked for the link.
The link works one time only, and only for 15 minutes.
Click the link
A Mnemonica page opens. You are in, with a basic session.
Mobile app
Open the app
Open the Mnemonica app on your phone.
Type your email address
Type the email address of your Mnemonica account in Email. Then tap Send me a sign-in link.
Mnemonica sends you an email with a link.
Open the email on the same phone
Mnemonica signs in the device where you open the link. If you open the email on a computer, the computer signs in, not the app.
The link works one time only, and only for 15 minutes.
Tap the link
You are in, with a basic session.
Sign in with Google or Apple
If you linked a Google or an Apple account to Mnemonica, click Sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple. In the app, tap the same button. This is also a basic session.
Sign in with a strong method
If you have added a strong method to your account, use it to sign in. You get a strong session at once.
You can use one of two strong methods:
- A passkey. You keep a passkey on your own computer. You use it in place of a password.
- The Mnemonica app on your phone. You scan a QR code on the computer with the app, and you are in.
Web app with passkey
Use this on your own computer.
- Go to mnemonica.io.
- Click Use passkey.
- Unlock with your fingerprint, your face or your PIN, as you unlock the computer.
You are in, with a strong session.
Web app with QR code
Use this when you have no passkey on the computer, or when the computer is not yours.
Before you start, install the Mnemonica app on your phone. In the app, tap Enable biometrics. Biometrics uses the way you unlock your phone: your fingerprint, your face or your PIN. If biometrics is off, you cannot sign in with the QR code. See Add your first strong method.
- On the computer, go to mnemonica.io.
- Click the Mnemonica App tab.
- On your phone, open the Mnemonica app and unlock it.
- On the Home page of the app, tap the QR code button. It is the round button at the bottom right.
- Scan the QR code on the computer screen.
You are in on the computer, with a strong session.
If you see Code expired, click Get a new code. Then scan the new QR code.
Mobile app
If you enabled biometrics, open the app and unlock it with your fingerprint, your face or your PIN. You are in, with a strong session. You do not have to do anything more.
When you are signed in and biometrics is on, the app keeps you signed in for 365 days.
