Sign-up is the sort of thing you do on your phone, between soundcheck and the first set, with one thumb and a patchy signal. Typing a password twice in that setting is more than it needs to be.
And if you forget your password six months later, with a year of gigs in the app, the way back in should be just as quick.
What’s new
A 6-digit code confirms your email. After you sign up, Gigflow emails you a code. Type it in and you are through.
No second password box at sign-up. You enter your password once.
Account recovery. A Forgot password? link on the sign-in screen emails you a way to set a new one.
Pick up where you left off. If you closed the app before confirming, you can enter your code later from the sign-in screen.
How to use it
Choose Create account, enter your email and a password, and look for the screen headed Check your email. Type the six digits in. If you copy the code or your phone offers it, the boxes fill in one go. The email has a button you can use too. The code expires in an hour, and Resend code sends a fresh one.
If you closed the app before confirming, tap Signed up but never confirmed? Enter your code on the sign-in screen to pick up where you left off.
To reset a password, type your email on the sign-in screen and tap Forgot password?. A reset email arrives in your inbox.
Why it matters
Your gig diary and tax records are only useful if you can get to them. Fewer boxes on the way in, and a dependable way back when you are locked out, means the records you have built up stay within reach.
