Accounts, passwords, and two-factor

Church staff create volunteer and staff logins. You cannot self-register for an existing church. If you were invited, use the email in the invite and set a password on first sign-in.

Sign in at churchism.app/login or in the iOS or Android app. Forgot password is on the login screen. Reset links go to that email.

Passwords must be at least 12 characters and include a letter and a number. Change yours in Settings → Password (web) or More → Settings → Password (iOS or Android app).

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a second 6-digit code after your password. Pastor, finance, and other giving-access accounts set this up on first sign-in. Pick email or an authenticator app — Churchism walks you through either one.

Email is the easiest: we send a code to your inbox each time you sign in. An authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or Microsoft Authenticator) is stronger and shows a new code every 30 seconds. At the end, save the backup codes. You need those if you cannot get a regular code.

Enroll from Settings → Two-factor, or from the setup screen if your account requires it. The church can require 2FA for everyone under Settings → Security. After 2FA is on, the Churchism app asks for the same kind of code. Set it up on the website first.

If you lose your authenticator or cannot receive email codes, a pastor or admin can reset 2FA for that user from Settings → Users. Do not send one-time codes or backup codes in support chat.

Inactive logins cannot sign in. Ask a pastor or admin to restore the account if you were deactivated by mistake.

To delete your own login, open More → Settings → Delete account in the iOS or Android app, or Settings → Delete account on the website (also churchism.app/account/delete). That removes your sign-in. Church people, gifts, and notes stay with the church.
