Overview

CraftedStays supports two ways to sign in to your account:

  1. Google Sign-In - Sign in with your Google account

  2. Email/Password - Sign in with your email address and a password


Google Sign-In

How It Works

  • Click "Sign in with Google" on the sign-in page

  • You'll be redirected to Google to authenticate

  • Once authenticated, you're automatically signed into CraftedStays

Benefits

  • No password to remember

  • Quick one-click sign-in

  • Uses your existing Google security (2FA, etc.)

Requirements

  • A Google account (Gmail, Google Workspace, etc.)

  • The same Google account you used when signing up


Email/Password Sign-In

How It Works

  1. Enter your email address

  2. Enter your password

  3. Click "Sign in"

Setting Up Email/Password (If You Signed Up with Google)

If you originally signed up using Google Sign-In but want to also have password access:

  1. Click "Forgot password?"

  2. Enter the email associated with your Google account

  3. Check your email for the reset link

  4. Set a new password

  5. You can now sign in with either Google OR email/password


Which Should I Use?

Method

Best For

Google Sign-In

Users who primarily use Google services and want quick access

Email/Password

Users who prefer traditional login, or need to share access with team members who don't use Google

Note: You can use both methods on the same account. The email address just needs to match.


Troubleshooting

"I signed up with Google but want to use a password"

Follow the steps above in "Setting Up Email/Password" - use the forgot password feature to create a password for your account.

"I can't remember which method I used to sign up"

Try both:

  1. First, try clicking "Sign in with Google"

  2. If that doesn't work, use "Forgot password?" to set up email/password access

"My Google sign-in isn't working"

  • Make sure you're signing in with the same Google account you originally used

  • Try signing out of Google completely, then signing back in

  • Clear your browser cache and cookies
