Sign In with Google
How to use your Google account to create an account and sign in to Nivo, and what to do when you see the warning that an account already exists with that email.
Updated on
If you prefer not to create another password, Nivo accepts your Google account.
Create account and sign in
- On the signup screen, click Sign up with Google.
- On the login screen, click Sign in with Google.
Google asks you to choose the account and authorize access to your email and basic profile — name and photo. Nivo doesn't read your emails, calendar, or Google files.
The account created this way starts working immediately, with the 500 free credits from the trial period (once per account) and no password to set.
Set a password later
Anyone who signed in with Google and never created a password can create one to also sign in with email and password. Go to Settings, fill in New Password and Confirm New Password, and save.
In this case you don't need to provide your current password — the page itself warns: "You signed in with Google. Set a password to also sign in with email and password."
From then on, both ways work.
"An account already exists with that email"
If you created your account with email and password and then tried to sign in with Google, Nivo refuses and shows this warning. It's protection: nobody signs into your account just by controlling a similar email.
Note: the message suggests linking Google in settings, but that option doesn't exist yet in the interface. For now, keep signing in with email and password. If you forgot the password, use Forgot password? on the login screen. For the same reason, there's also no way to unlink Google from an account created with it.
If the Google button doesn't appear
In some environments Google login may be disabled. In that case the buttons simply aren't shown and the way in is email and password signup.
