How signing in works (passwordless and SSO)

DeskCrew has no passwords. You sign in three ways: an email one-time code (OTP), Google, or Slack.

Sign-in options

  • Email OTP — Enter your email and DeskCrew sends a single-use 6-digit code that expires in about 10 minutes. Enter it to finish.
  • Google — OAuth single sign-on, so no code is needed.
  • Slack — OAuth single sign-on, so no code is needed.

Code security

  • Codes are stored only as a hash, never as plaintext, and each code is consumed once.
  • A code is burned after 5 wrong attempts.
  • You can request at most 5 codes per 15 minutes per email address.

Tip: If email delivery is down, you can still sign in with Google or Slack.

Note: No credit card is required to create a workspace.
