Objective
To help users resolve issues when logging into the FYLD app or FYLDCloud using One-Time Passwords (OTPs), as well as to provide historical reference for Magic Links.
Background
Magic Links and OTPs offer a convenient and secure way to log in.
While Magic Links were used previously, the current default is OTP verification due to its added security and reliability. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for both login methods for reference and outlines checks you can perform to resolve any issues.
Steps
Part 1 - How This Should Behave (Legacy Magic Links and OTP Login)
One-Time Passwords (OTPs) by SMS
On the FYLD app’s Login page, select ‘SMS’.
Enter your phone number.
Click ‘Continue’ at the bottom of the page.
Open your phone's Messages app or select ‘Open messages’ to navigate there automatically.
Tap the link in the SMS message to log in to the FYLD app automatically.
One-Time Passwords (OTPs) by Email
Open the FYLD app and proceed to the login page.
Enter your registered phone number or email address.
A One-Time Password (OTP) will be sent to the entered contact information.
Retrieve the OTP from your inbox.
Enter the OTP in the designated field in the app. Once verified, you will gain access to the FYLD app dashboard.
Part 2 - Things to Confirm
The Right Mobile Number or Email Address
Ensure the phone number or email matches what FYLD has on record.
This will likely be your work email or phone number.
If details have recently changed, ask your manager or FYLD Support to update your information.
The Right Country Setting
Ensure the country flag on the FYLD app matches your FYLD environment (e.g., UK flag for UK-based users).
Change this in the app’s login page if required.
The Right Country Code (Text Message Only)
Confirm the country code next to ‘Your Phone Number’ matches your mobile phone. This may differ from your FYLD environment.
Check Your Junk/Spam Folders
On Android: Look in your Messages app's ‘Spam and blocked’ folder. Open and mark the FYLD message as ‘Not Spam’ to follow the link.
On iOS: If ‘Filter Unknown Senders’ is on, check ‘Unknown Senders’ in your Messages app for the link.
On Email: Check the Spam folder for the FYLD system email and mark it as ‘Not Spam’.
Is Your Account Active?
A manager or FYLD Support can confirm if your account is active.
Accounts may be deactivated if you've changed roles, used a different email, or been inactive.
The Right Default Web Browser (Mobile Only)
On Android: Set Chrome as your default browser under Settings > Apps > Choose Default Apps.
On iOS: Set Chrome as the Default Browser in Settings > Chrome.
App-Specific or Universal Links (Mobile Only)
On Android: Tap and hold the FYLD app icon, select ‘Open by Default’, and allow the app to open supported links.
On iOS: Paste a Magic Link into the Notes app, tap and hold it, and ensure it opens with the FYLD app or Safari.
