Loginless mode
Every user of YOTEY has a user account. Every user account belongs to an organization. An organization can contain multiple user accounts, corresponding to members of your teams, projects, etc. Project and user account data belonging to different organizations are securely separated from each other. Sometimes we refer to this as environments.
Anonymous account
Loginless mode is a way of using YOTEY with an anonymous account, in contrast to a regular account, but with all the benefits of data separation provided by organizations. You can access this function from the front page, or here: Loginless mode.
Loginless mode works as follows:
- You create an anonymous account without entering any data, personal or otherwise.
- An anonymous account is ready immediately. You do not have to wait for an invitation to an organization.
- YOTEY creates a separate, anonymous organization/environment which contains only this anonymous account.
- Instead of regular log in, you use a personal link to access your projects, plans and tasks in your anonymous organization.
- It is possible to create multiple anonymous accounts/organizations and use them in parallel.
You need your personal link provided by YOTEY in order to keep accessing your anonymous organization. For security purposes, there is (currently) no way of restoring access if you lose the link. We recommend using the "send me the link" feature when creating an anonymous account. Alternatively, bookmark the link in your Web browser.
As creating an anonymous account is intended to be an extremely simple procedure, this manual page does not provide detailed step-by-step instructions.
Limitations
When using YOTEY in loginless mode, there are no functional limitations when working with projects, plans and tasks. However, there are some other differences compared to a regular user account:
- The username of an anonymous account is predefined and not personal.
- It is not possible to invite anyone else to the anonymous organization. This may change in the future.
- Regular log in page/procedure cannot be used. Instead, the personal link must be used access YOTEY again after logging out or after session expiration.
Converting to a regular account
Currently it is not possible for a user to convert an anonymous account into a regular account within YOTEY. Instead, contact us at support@yotey.net for assistance or questions. It is always possible to sign up for a regular account if you can afford to throw away your project data in the anonymous organization.
Terms of use
Loginless mode and anonymous accounts are provided on the fair use basis. You agree not to disrupt or exploit YOTEY by using the loginless mode. You agree not to create an excessive number of anonymous accounts. We reserve the right to delete an anonymous account, its associated anonymous organization and project data at our discretion.
