Note: If you enter an incorrect email and password combination, a red banner will appear with the message: "That email and password combination doesn't match. Try again or use a one-time code instead." You can dismiss the banner by clicking the X, then try again or use the one-time code option.
How do I log in with a one-time code?
If you choose Send one-time code, Handshake sends a six-digit code to your inbox. The email comes from Handshake at handshake@m.joinhandshake.com with the subject line "Here's your one time password."
To finish signing in:
1. Open the email from Handshake.
2. Copy the six-digit code, then paste it into the One-time code field on the Enter one-time code screen.
3. Click the Verify button.
4. Once verified, you will be logged in to your account automatically.
Note: If you need to use a different email address, click Edit next to your email on the Enter one-time code screen. If you did not receive the email, click Resend code to request a new one. Each one-time code can only be used once and expires after 30 minutes to help protect your account.
