Why did Fanvault rebuild the auth flow?
Every second between "I want to log in" and "I am logged in" is a second creators cannot use to schedule a drop, reply to a fan DM, or approve an auction bid. The old sign-up form asked for too much up front, buried email verification in a separate tab, and lost invite codes on refresh. The refresh trims every screen to the fewest fields needed and remembers your context between steps, so you never re-enter what you already typed.
It also lands cleanly on your phone. The majority of creator sessions on Fanvault happen on mobile, so the flow was designed thumb-first with large tap targets and a single primary action per screen.
How do you sign in with a magic link?
Magic links skip passwords entirely. You type your email, Fanvault sends a one-tap link, and you land back in your dashboard.
Step 1. Open the new sign-in page. Head to fanvault.shop and click Sign in. The page loads with your last-used method preselected, so if you have used magic links before, the email field is already focused.
Step 2. Request a magic link. Enter your email and press Send magic link. Check your inbox on the same device (the link opens the correct browser session automatically). Links expire in 15 minutes for security.
How do you sign in with Google or Apple?
Step 3. Continue with Google or Apple. If you would rather skip email entirely, tap Continue with Google or Continue with Apple on the sign-in page. The OAuth handshake happens in a system dialog, then you land straight in your Fanvault dashboard. Your OAuth identity is bound to your Fanvault account, so switching sign-in methods later is a one-click choice, not a rebuild.
How do you verify your email and reset a lost password?
Step 4. Verify your email address. New sign-ups get a verification email in the same flow, no second tab and no "check your email and come back" dance. The verification link drops you right back into onboarding at the exact step you left. If the email never arrives, the resend button now shows a countdown so you know when you can try again.
Step 5. Reset a forgotten password. On the sign-in page, click Forgot password, enter your email, and follow the reset link. New passwords are checked against a k-anonymity breach list, so a leaked password from another site cannot be reused here. Passkeys are on the roadmap and will land in a future update.
Where do you enter a referral or invite code?
Step 6. Redeem a referral or invite code. Fanvault is invite-gated, and every creator is manually approved. During sign-up, the referral field lives right below the email field on the same page, and any code in your URL (from a creator's share link) auto-populates it. Codes persist across page refreshes now, so if you get pulled away mid-signup, you will not lose your spot.
What can you manage from your account settings?
Step 7. Update your account settings. Once you are in, your account hub lives under Settings in the sidebar. From there you can change your email, rotate your password, link or unlink Google and Apple, review active sessions, and sign out of every device at once. The active sessions panel is new. It shows every browser and device holding a token, with a Revoke button next to each. If you sign in from a friend's laptop and forget about it, you can kill that session from your phone without changing your password.
What does this unlock for you as a creator?
The auth flow is not the feature. It is the door to the feature. Every second the old flow cost you was a second you were not shipping content, running an auction, or answering a fan. The refresh makes sign-in a non-event, so the rest of Fanvault (the storefront, the drops, the paid DMs, the wishlists) is what you actually spend time on. And because you keep 92% of every sale at Fanvault's 8% platform fee, faster access is faster revenue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to re-verify my email if I already had a Fanvault account?
No. Existing verified accounts carry over. The refresh only changes the flow, not your verification status. If your email was verified under the old form, you can sign in with a magic link, Google, Apple, or password on the new page without any extra step.
Are passkeys supported yet?
Not yet. Magic links and OAuth via Google and Apple cover the passwordless path today, and both are safer than a reused password. Passkeys are on the roadmap and will land in a future update to the auth suite.
What happens if my magic link expires before I open it?
Links expire after 15 minutes to keep your account safe. If you miss the window, head back to the sign-in page, enter your email, and request a fresh one. The old link is invalidated the moment a new one is issued, so nobody can use a stale link if you send another.
Can I link both Google and Apple to the same Fanvault account?
Yes. Under Settings, you can link Google, Apple, and a password to the same account, then sign in with whichever you have handy on a given device. Unlinking any one of them leaves the others active, so you never risk locking yourself out.
