Magic Token Account Sign-In

Magic token sign-in lets you access your Hover account without typing a password—Hover emails you a one-time code instead. It's a handy option if you've forgotten your password, or if you'd simply rather not use one. This article walks you through requesting and using a magic token to sign in.

How magic token sign-in works

Instead of your login ID and password, magic token sign-in uses the email address listed as your account's primary contact for Hover notifications. Hover sends a one-time six-digit code to that address, and entering it signs you in.

Before you begin

• Verify your account email first: Magic token sign-in only works with a verified account email address. See Verifying a Hover Account Email Address if you haven't verified yours yet.
• Have your two-step sign-in method ready (if enabled): If two-step sign-in is turned on for your account, you'll also be prompted for a six-digit code from your authenticator app. Note: Some Hover materials also reference SMS delivery for this code.

Step 1: Request a magic token

1. Go to the Hover sign-in page and select Or sign in with magic token.
2. Enter the email address associated with your Hover account and select Send token.
3. Hover emails a six-digit authentication code to that address. The code stays active for 15 minutes.

Note: If the email address you entered isn't associated with a Hover account, that address will receive an email stating no Hover account was found.

Step 2: Confirm your code and sign in

1. Enter the six-digit authentication code from the email and select Confirm code.
2. If more than one Hover account is linked to that email address, select the username you want to sign in to.
