Signing in (password, social login, OTP)

1 min read Updated Jun 19, 2026

Choose the sign-in method that fits you — password, social provider or a one-time code.

Signing in

Octa8 supports several ways to sign in. Which ones appear on your sign-in page depends on what the operator has enabled, but the flow is always the same: prove who you are, and you land on your dashboard.

Password

The default. Go to /login, enter your email (or phone) and password, and submit. Tick Remember me on a personal device to stay signed in longer. Forgot it? Use Forgot password to get a reset link by email.

Social login

Click the provider button — Google, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Discord or TikTok — approve the request on their site, and you're returned signed in. If the email matches an existing account, the two are linked automatically.

One-time code (OTP) and magic link

  1. On the sign-in page, choose Sign in with a code (/auth/otp).
  2. Enter your email and request a code. Depending on configuration, it arrives by email, SMS or WhatsApp.
  3. Type the code to finish. Prefer a link instead? The magic link option (/auth/magic-link) emails you a one-tap sign-in link.
Tip: codes and magic links expire quickly for security. If one stops working, just request a fresh one.
