Staffer signs you in with Google, Microsoft, or an email and password you create yourself. All three are on the same sign-in page at app.staffer.com. There’s no SAML single sign-on.

​
Sign in with Google or Microsoft

Click Continue with Google or Continue with Microsoft and authenticate with that account. Staffer reads your email from the account to find or set up your workspace.

​
Sign in with email and password

Enter your email and password below the two buttons and click Sign in with email. This works for any account that has a password, whether you set one when you created your account or added one later from Forgot your password?.

​
You need a work email

Staffer organizes workspaces by company, so it doesn’t accept personal addresses such as Gmail, Outlook.com, iCloud or Yahoo (about 35 providers in all), whichever way you sign in. Trying one on sign-in shows “Use your work email”: “Staffer sets up workspaces by company, so personal addresses (gmail, outlook, etc.) can’t register. Sign in again with your work email.”

​
Create an account with email

1

Enter your work email

Click Create account on the sign-in page, enter your email and click Continue.
2

Open the confirmation email

Staffer emails a link titled “Confirm and choose a password.” It expires in 24 hours. If it doesn’t arrive, click Resend email on the check-your-inbox screen.
3

Choose a password

The link opens a page confirming your email. Add your name (optional) and a password, then click Create account. Passwords need at least 10 characters and at most 72 (fewer if you use accented letters or emoji).
Your account doesn’t exist until you finish step 3. If you enter an email that already has an account, Staffer doesn’t send a second confirmation link: it sends a notice with a sign-in link instead. The check-your-inbox screen looks the same either way, so someone typing in your address can’t tell whether you already have an account.

​
Forgot or reset your password

Click Forgot your password? on the sign-in page and enter your work email. If it matches an account, Staffer emails a reset link that expires in 60 minutes. This also works if you’ve only ever signed in with Google or Microsoft and want to add a password to your account.
Setting a new password signs you into the device you’re on and signs you out of every other active session on your account.

​
How long you stay signed in

A session lasts 14 days from the moment you sign in, active or not. There’s no “remember me” option and no idle timeout: you’re either within the 14 days or you sign in again.

​
Common questions

Some Microsoft work accounts don’t send Staffer an email address at all, usually accounts without a Microsoft 365 mailbox. Staffer falls back to your username, but if that isn’t a real email either, such as a guest account, sign-in is refused with the same message personal addresses get, even though yours is a genuine work account. Sign in with email and password instead, or ask whoever manages your Microsoft tenant.
No. A password is only needed for email sign-in. You can add one later from Forgot your password? if you want a fallback.
