Keep your points

Accounts on ArLib.me need no email or password: a passkey on your phone is the key.

Changing or losing a phone

New phone, same Apple or Google account
A passkey saved in Apple Passwords or Google Password Manager comes along. Sign in with it and your points are there.
Lost or sold a phone
Sign in on another device, then remove the old phone's passkey under Your passkeys so it can't sign in any more.
A passkey that doesn't sync
It lives on one device only. Sign in on a second device and add a passkey there too, so losing one device doesn't lose your points.

How accounts work

No email, no password
Your account is a random name like “Reader K7Q2M” and your points. For each passkey we also note the kind of browser and device that added and last used it (like “Safari on iPhone”) so you can tell them apart. Nothing else about you is stored.
Points create the account
Adding a library or a book starts an account on this device automatically. You can also create one up front.
A passkey keeps it
Saving a passkey (Face ID, Touch ID or your device PIN) lets you sign in on any device. Apple Passwords (iCloud Keychain) and Google Password Manager sync it to your other devices.
Losing every passkey loses the account
With no email there's nothing to reset. If your passkey syncs, a new phone gets it back; if not, save a passkey on a second device too.

Earned points with a crypto wallet before accounts existed? Those points are kept, and that wallet will be able to claim them when wallet linking arrives. Questions: ArlingtonAndUkraine+arlib@gmail.com
