New to the product? What is Chief? covers what you can do with it. Chief doesn’t use passwords. You sign in either with a one-time Magic Link sent to your email, or with your Google account. The same two methods work for both signing up and logging back in.

​
Create a new account

  1. Go to the Chief sign-up page. You’ll see the heading “Create an account” and the note “Your first 10,000 credits are on us” — see Free credits & what you get on signup.
  2. To use a Magic Link: type your email in the “your@email.com” field, then click the “Email me a Magic Link” button.
  3. Or, to use Google: click the “Sign up with Google” button and choose your account.
  4. If you used a Magic Link, you’ll see “Check your email to get started”. Open the email titled around “We’ve sent a Magic Link to your email” and click the link.
  5. If a verification step appears (“Verify you are human”), click the “Confirm” button to finish signing in.
ℹ️ Good to Know: If you sign up with a personal email (like a gmail.com address), Chief suggests using your work email instead — that unlocks the ability to share projects with colleagues, better responses, and early access to new features.

​
Log back in

  1. Go to the login page. You’ll see “Log in to Chief”.
  2. Enter your email and click “Email me a Magic Link”, or click “Log in with Google”.
  3. Open the email and click your Magic Link to land back in your account.
⚠️ Important: A Magic Link is tied to the exact email address you entered. Open the email from the same address you signed up with — opening it from a different inbox won’t work.
