Logging In to Scoriet

Once you've created your account, logging in is quick and secure. This guide covers login, password recovery, and managing your session.

Your First Login​

Step 1: Go to the Login Page​

Visit the Scoriet homepage and click the "Login" button in the top right corner, or navigate directly to the login page.

Step 2: Enter Your Credentials​

You'll see two fields on the login form:

  1. Email Address – Enter the email you used during registration
  2. Password – Enter your password (case-sensitive)

Make sure you type these carefully. Passwords are case-sensitive, so "MyPassword" is different from "mypassword".

:::tip Using a Password Manager? We recommend using a password manager like 1Password, LastPass, or Bitwarden. They auto-fill your credentials securely and generate strong passwords. :::

Step 3: Click "Sign In"​

Once you've entered your email and password, click the "Sign In" button. Scoriet uses OAuth2 authentication to verify your credentials securely.

Understanding Your Session​

When you log in, Scoriet creates a secure session using JWT (JSON Web Tokens). Here's what that means for you:

  • Automatic Login – You stay logged in as you work, without needing to re-enter credentials repeatedly
  • Secure Tokens – Your session token is encrypted and stored safely in your browser
  • Auto-Logout – For security, sessions automatically expire after a period of inactivity (typically 24 hours)
  • One-Click Logout – You can manually logout anytime from your profile menu

:::note Token Refresh Scoriet automatically refreshes your session token in the background. You shouldn't see any interruptions during your work day. :::

Forgot Your Password?​

Don't worry—it happens! Here's how to reset your password:

Step 1: Click "Forgot Password?"​

On the login page, below the login button, you'll see a "Forgot your password?" link. Click it.

:::caution Reset Link Expires For security, password reset links are only valid for 24 hours. If the link has expired, repeat the process to get a new one. :::

Step 4: Create a New Password​

You'll be redirected to a form where you can enter your new password. Make sure it's secure and different from your old password.

Enter it twice to confirm, then click "Set New Password".

Great! Your password has been reset. Go back to the login page and log in with your new password.

Managing Your Account Access​

:::caution Always Logout on Shared Computers If you're using a shared or public computer, always make sure to logout before closing the browser. This prevents others from accessing your account. :::

  1. Click your profile icon → "Account Settings"
  2. Go to the "Security" tab
  3. Click "Change Password"
  4. Enter your current password and your new password (twice)
  5. Click "Update Password"

:::tip Logout Remote Sessions If you see an unfamiliar session, click the "X" button to log out that device immediately. This is useful if you think someone else has accessed your account. :::

OAuth2 & Token Management​

Scoriet uses industry-standard OAuth2 for authentication. Here's what you should know:

  • No Password Sharing – Your password is never stored in your browser or on insecure systems
  • Encrypted Tokens – Access tokens are encrypted and secure
  • Automatic Refresh – Your session is automatically extended as you work
  • Revokable Access – You can revoke access anytime in your Account Settings

:::info What is OAuth2? OAuth2 is a secure authentication standard used by Google, Microsoft, GitHub, and other major platforms. It keeps your credentials safe by never sharing them with third parties. :::

Troubleshooting Login Issues​

"Invalid email or password"
Double-check that you've entered your email and password correctly. Remember, passwords are case-sensitive. If you still can't login, try resetting your password.

"Account not verified"
You haven't verified your email yet. Check your inbox for the verification email from Scoriet, or request a new one from the login page.

"Too many login attempts"
For security, Scoriet temporarily locks accounts after several failed login attempts. Wait 15 minutes and try again, or use the password reset feature.

"Session expired"
Your session has timed out. Simply log in again. This is normal after periods of inactivity.

"Can't login on mobile"
Scoriet is optimized for desktop browsers. While it may work on tablets, mobile phones aren't recommended for the full Scoriet experience due to screen size.
