Sign in with Google, Microsoft or Apple

You can sign in to TradeSender with a Google, Microsoft or Apple account in place of a password. All three are on the sign-in page on the web and in the iPhone and Android apps, and anyone in a workspace can use them.

Sign in

You have 10 minutes to finish at the provider.

The Create your account page has the same three buttons. It makes no difference which page you start from.

In the iPhone app the buttons sit under the email form, after "or continue with". Apple's own button comes first, then Continue with Google and Continue with Microsoft.

In the Android app they also sit under the email form, after "or continue with", in the web's order: Continue with Google, Continue with Microsoft and Continue with Apple. Each opens the provider's page in a browser tab and brings you back to the app.

The first time you use one

TradeSender works out who you are in this order:

1. You have used this provider account before. You go into the same TradeSender account as last time.
2. Its email address matches a TradeSender account. TradeSender links the two. From then on you can sign in either way. This is also a way into a team you were invited to: use a provider account with the address the invitation went to.
3. Nothing matches. TradeSender makes a new workspace on the Free plan with you as its owner. It takes the Business name you entered on the Create your account page before choosing the button; with none, it is named after you until you enter one, in the set-up questions that follow or later in Settings.

For step 2, the provider must confirm the email address is yours. If it has not, TradeSender does not link anything and tells you so.

Apple and a hidden email address

If you choose to hide your email address, Apple gives TradeSender a relay address in place of yours. It matches no TradeSender account, so you get a new workspace. To get into a workspace you already have, sign in with your email and password.

If you belong to more than one workspace

TradeSender shows Choose your workspace and asks for a Workspace ID. Yours is in Settings, under Business details.

What TradeSender receives

Your name, your email address and an identifier that lets TradeSender recognise you next time. Apple sends your name the first time only.

TradeSender never receives your Google, Microsoft or Apple password. Signing in gives it no way into your email, contacts, calendar or files.

Use a password as well

You signed up with a provider and want a password. On the sign-in page choose Forgot password?, enter your email address and choose Send reset link. The link in the email lasts 20 minutes. Choose a password of at least 10 characters and choose Save password. After that you can sign in either way.

Choosing a new password signs you out on your other devices. It also disconnects any AI assistants you have connected and ends any API keys you made.

You have a password and want to use a provider. Choose its button on the sign-in page, with a provider account that has the same email address. TradeSender links it, and your password carries on working.

Signing in is separate from sending email

Signing in with Google or Microsoft shares your name and email address, nothing more. It does not let TradeSender send from your Gmail or Outlook mailbox.

Sending quotes and invoices from your own address is a different permission. An owner gives it once for the workspace, in Settings, Emails. See Send from your own mailbox.

If it does not work

TradeSender shows Couldn’t sign you in with one of these, and a Back to sign in button.
