Chief signs you in without a password. You can use a magic link sent to your email, or sign in with Google.
  1. Enter your email address.
  2. Click Email me a Magic Link.
  3. Open the email (its subject is around “Check your email to get started”) and click the link to finish signing in.
ℹ️ Good to Know: Chief recommends using your work email rather than a free personal address — it improves sharing, support, and early access.

Sign in with Google

  1. Click Sign up with Google (or the Google sign-in button).
  2. Complete the Google prompt; you’ll be redirected back to Chief signed in.
  • Check your spam folder.
  • Make sure you used the same email you registered with — for security, Chief needs the exact address tied to the link.
  • If you’ve requested several links quickly, you may hit a rate limit: wait an hour before trying again.
  • Still stuck? Get help — email support@chief.bot and the team will troubleshoot with you.
⚠️ Important: A magic link can become invalid if it’s expired, already used, or opened with a different email than the one it was sent to. Request a fresh link and open it from the same inbox.
