Sign in: email link, password, Google or Microsoft

Sign in with a one-time link sent to your email, with a password, or with your Google or Microsoft work account. All four open the same account if they use the same email.

Sign in with Google or Microsoft

  1. Step 1: Click Continue with Google or Continue with Microsoft.

  2. Step 2: On Google's or Microsoft's page, choose your work account and approve. The first time, they ask you to share your name and email address with LockedHours. We don't get access to your mailbox, calendar, contacts or files.

  3. Step 3: You come back to LockedHours, signed in.

  • The email has a link and a 6-digit code. Each works once and expires after one hour.
  • Click the link to sign in on the device where you open the email. Reading the email on your phone but signing in on your laptop? Type the code in 6-digit code on the laptop and click Continue.
  • If you ask too many times in a short time, you'll see Too many attempts. Please wait a minute and try again.

Sign in with a password

Open the Password tab, type your email and password, and click Sign in. If you signed up with a link, Google or Microsoft, you don't have a password yet: set one from the app whenever you like, or keep using the other ways.

Sign out

Click Sign out at the top right of any app page (on a phone: More at the bottom right, then Sign out). Do this on shared computers: anyone using the same browser stays signed in until you do.

Common problems

The email never arrives

See I didn't get the sign-in link, or use your password, Google or Microsoft instead.

"That sign-in link expired or was already used"

Type the 6-digit code from the same email instead, or ask for a new email. Some email security tools open links to scan them, which uses them up; the code still works.

"That email and password don't match"

Check the email, and that Caps Lock is off. If you never set a password, use another way, or click Forgot password? to choose one. See Reset or set your password.

"Signing in with Google or Microsoft didn't finish"

You cancelled on their page, or it timed out. Click the button again, or use your email.

I changed jobs or my email address changed

Ask an admin of your team to invite your new address. Time you tracked under the old address stays in the account.
