Onboarding and sign in
The first-run walkthrough, signing in to a team's deployment, creating a personal account, resetting a password, and what happens when your session ends.
First run
The first time you open the app you get a walkthrough of four screens you can swipe through, covering what Auron does on the phone. Skip in the top corner jumps past it, and Get Started on the last screen takes you to sign in. It appears once. Later launches go straight to sign in, or straight to Home if you are already signed in.
Signing in
The sign in screen, headed Welcome back, asks for three things.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Domain | The address of your Auron deployment. It comes filled in with Auron's own address, which is where personal accounts live; replace it if your team gave you a different one. You can paste a full web address and the app trims it to the host name. If it does not look like an address you get "Enter a valid domain (e.g. app.useauron.ai)". |
| The address you signed up or were invited with. | |
| Password | The eye button shows what you typed. If the email and password do not match you get "Incorrect email or password. Please try again." and nothing says which of the two was wrong. |
After a successful sign in the app shows your domain name for a moment while it loads the organizations you belong to, then opens Home in the organization you used last. On a first sign in it picks the first organization you have access to. If you belong to none yet, it starts the setup that creates a personal organization for you, described in Personal accounts.
Creating an account
Under the sign in button, New to Auron? Create account opens the sign up screen. It asks for your name, email and a password of at least 6 characters, and Create account stays disabled until you tick the box agreeing to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. There is no domain field: the account is created on Auron's own deployment.
A new account gets a personal organization and a free 30-day trial. The setup steps that follow, and how a personal account differs from a team one, are in Personal accounts.
If your team uses Auron, do not create an account. Ask for an invitation and sign in with it, or your work ends up in a personal organization your colleagues cannot see.
Resetting a password
Forgot password? sits next to the Password label. It opens Reset your password, which asks only for your email, filled in from the sign in screen if you had typed it. Send reset link emails a link to that address. The link opens in your browser, and that is where you choose the new password. Come back to the app and sign in with it.
The reset request goes to the domain in the Domain field of the sign in screen. If you work across two deployments, set the domain to the one whose password you want to change before tapping Forgot password?.
Staying signed in
You stay signed in between launches, and the app renews your session in the background. If it cannot be renewed, for example because it has been revoked or has expired, you are returned to the sign in screen and everything cached from that session is cleared. Nothing from the previous session stays visible.
Sign out is at the bottom of the Menu. It asks you to confirm, removes the stored sign in for the domain and email you are using, and returns you to the sign in screen. Other sign ins stored on the same phone are kept.
