How do magic links work?

From the grown-up sign-in tab, ask for a one-time link. It signs you in and marks the email verified.

Updated 8/23/2026

Request the link
On login, choose Email me a sign-in link, enter the account email, and send. The link lasts twenty minutes and works once. If no mail provider is configured, the page shows the local link so you can finish the flow.
What it does not do
Magic links do not create new accounts and do not sign in a child PIN profile. Unknown emails still receive a generic “sent” response so the form cannot be used to hunt for addresses.
After you click
Parents land on the dashboard, educators on Classrooms, independent learners on the workspace. The same click verifies the email.
