Verified for Limbo 2.5.00 · 2026-08-27

You need an account to create or join a crew trip, add plans, or vote on ballots. You can sign up with an email and password, or skip the form with Apple or Google. All of this applies to your own account only, no trip role required.

Create an account with email

  1. 1
    Open Limbo. On the login screen, tap Register.
  2. 2
    Enter your first name, last name, and email address.
  3. 3
    Choose a password and type it again to confirm.
  4. 4
    Tap the submit button in the top-right corner. Tap Cancel in the top-left at any time to go back to the login screen.

Passwords must be at least 8 characters and no more than 72 UTF-8 bytes. They do not need a particular mix of letters, numbers, or symbols. Emoji and some accented or non-Latin characters use more than one byte, so shorten the password if Limbo says it is too long.

Tip

Your name and the avatar you add later are what your crew sees on trip cards, in chat, and on ballot reveals, so use a name your friends will recognize.

Sign in with Apple or Google

  1. 1
    On the login screen, tap Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google.
  2. 2
    Follow the system prompts to confirm with your Apple or Google account.
  3. 3
    You're signed in. First-time sign-ins create your Limbo account automatically.

Use the same method every time so you land in the same account.

Log in

If you're signed out, enter your email and password on the login screen and tap Login, or use the Apple or Google button if that's how you signed up.

Note

If a Limbo link asked you to sign in first, a successful email, email-code, Apple, or Google sign-in returns you to that link. When you opened Limbo normally, sign-in takes you to Home.

Sign in with an email code

Forgot your password, or just prefer not to type one? You can sign in with a one-time code sent to your email, no password needed.

  1. 1
    On the login screen, tap Sign in with an email code instead.
  2. 2
    Enter your email and tap Send me a code.
  3. 3
    Check your inbox for a 6-digit code. It arrives in seconds and expires in 10 minutes.
  4. 4
    Type the code and tap Verify & sign in.

Tip

The code works once and is tied to the email on your account. Didn't get it? Tap Resend code and check your spam folder. Signing in with a code also verifies your email address automatically.

Verify your email

When you sign up with an email and password, we send a verification link to your inbox. Tap it to confirm your address, one tap and you're done. (Signing in with Apple, Google, or an email code verifies you automatically, so there's nothing extra to do.)

New accounts have 7 days to verify. Until then, a banner sits at the top of the app with Resend and I've verified buttons. If 7 days pass without verifying, you can still log in and browse everything, but creating or editing trips, proposing plans, voting, and inviting crew pause until you verify. Verifying instantly restores full access, nothing is lost.

Tip

Already had an account before this rolled out? You're unaffected: the 7-day window only applies to new sign-ups.

Forgot your password?

  1. 1
    On the login screen, tap Forgot Password.
  2. 2
    Enter the email address on your account.
  3. 3
    Tap the submit button in the top-right corner. Limbo always shows the same acknowledgement, so nobody can use this screen to check whether an email has an account.
  4. 4
    If the address belongs to an account, check your inbox for a 6-digit sign-in code. Your existing password is not changed.
  5. 5
    Limbo opens Enter your recovery code automatically. Enter the emailed code, then tap Verify & sign in. The code expires after 10 minutes and works once.
  6. 6
    After signing in, tap your avatar to open Account, then open Password and choose a new password promptly. The recovery authorization also expires 10 minutes after you verify the code; if it expires, repeat these steps.

Already logged in and know your current password? Tap your avatar in the top-right of Home to open Account, then open Password.

Log out

  1. 1
    On the Home screen, tap your avatar in the top-right corner to open Account.
  2. 2
    Scroll down and tap Logout.

Logging out is instant, there's no confirmation prompt. It signs you out on this device and clears locally stored data, but nothing is deleted from your account: your trips, plans, and votes are all there when you sign back in.

Delete your account

Deleting is different from logging out: it permanently removes your account and cannot be undone. Tap your avatar to open Account, scroll to Delete Account, and follow the confirmation prompt. Once Limbo accepts the online request, account access is disabled and you're logged out. See Delete your account for what happens to private and shared trips and how pending Apple or subscription-processor cleanup is handled.
