Signing in to Relay
Overview
You can sign in to Relay using your email address and a one-time temporary password.
Instead of using a traditional, permanent password, Relay takes a different route to keep things more secure and streamlined. Every time you sign in, you’ll receive a temporary password—valid for a short window—delivered straight to your inbox. This means:
- You don’t need to remember or manage a static password
- Your account is protected from weak or reused passwords
- Each sign-in is tightly linked to your verified email identity
We believe this method reduces the risk of unauthorized access and keeps things simple, especially in a workplace setting where access and anonymity both matter.
No passwords. No problem. Just security built for the modern workplace.
Relay uses time-sensitive, one-time passwords (also known as magic links) to verify your identity—no need to remember or manage static passwords. This approach mirrors the philosophy behind FIDO2 standards: reduce the risk of phishing, eliminate password reuse, and rely on verified channels for authentication.
Each sign-in acts as a lightweight form of MFA, combining something you have (your inbox) with something you know (your email address). It’s faster, safer, and designed to keep both your access and your anonymity protected.
Signing in with your email
- Head to dash.openrelay.app
- Enter your email address and click Continue
- Check your inbox for an email from us—inside, you’ll find a temporary password (valid for one hour)
- Paste the password into the sign-in form, or just click the Sign In button in the email
- You’ll be taken straight into your Relay dashboard
Once you're in, you’ll stay signed in unless you choose to log out or clear your browser data.
Signing out

For admins: Looking for SSO?
We currently use temporary passwords as the default sign-in method to keep Relay lightweight, secure, and easy to access. If your organization is interested in setting up Single Sign-On (SSO) or needs enterprise-level authentication options, get in touch with our team—we’d love to chat.
