Sign-in problems

Fixes for the common ways signing in fails — wrong password, Google sign-in loops, confirmation emails that don't arrive, and the desktop app not returning from the browser.

Updated

"Enter your email address and password" or "Invalid login credentials"

  • Check the address for typos and the password for caps lock.
  • If you originally signed up with Continue with Google, use that button — the account may not have a password set.
  • Forgot it? Choose Forgot password? on the sign-in page, enter your address, and open the link we email you in the same browser to set a new password. Reset links work once and expire; request another if yours has.
  • Links are single-use and time-limited — request a new one from Forgot password? and open the newest email.
  • The link must be opened in the browser you requested it from (the reset is bound to that browser). On a phone, request it from the phone.
  • If you signed up with Google there is no password to reset; use Sign in with Google. You can add a password later in Settings › General › Password.

The confirmation email didn't arrive

  • Look in spam and in any "Promotions" tab.
  • University mail filters sometimes hold external confirmation links for a few minutes.
  • Requesting a new sign-up with the same address resends the confirmation.

Google sign-in returns to the sign-in page

  • Third-party cookies or a strict privacy extension can block the OAuth callback. Allow cookies for neutropic.io and the Google accounts domain, or try a private window without extensions.
  • If your Google account is managed by an institution, its admin may have to allow the Neutropic app.

Signed out unexpectedly

Sessions expire after long inactivity. Signing in again restores everything — chats and artifacts live on your account, not in the browser.

Desktop app: the browser signed me in but the app didn't notice

The browser hands the session back through a neutropic:// link. If nothing happens:

  1. Look for a browser prompt asking to open Neutropic and allow it.
  2. Copy the neutropic://… link the page shows and paste it into the app's sign-in screen, or open it from the address bar.
  3. Make sure only one copy of the app is running.
