Create your account
Step 1 of the Quick start. To create your account, sign up with your email and a password, then enter the 6-digit code Tovari emails you. An authenticator app for two-factor sign-in is optional.
What do I need to sign up?
Section titled “What do I need to sign up?”An email address you can read right now. Verification is not optional: until your email is confirmed, the app will not let you past the verification screen.
Tovari also supports signing in with Google or Apple. Those buttons live on the sign-in screen rather than the sign-up form, and each is shown only when it is configured for the build you are using. An account that signs in with Google or Apple cannot add an authenticator app as a second factor — the sign-in provider is already supplying one.
Sign up
Section titled “Sign up”- Open the sign-up page. The heading reads Create your account.
- Fill in First name, Last name, Email address, and Password. The password field shows the minimum length inline, and a strength meter and a requirements checklist update as you type.
- Confirm the password in Confirm password.
- Press Create account →.
You reach that form from the sign-in page — the line Don’t have an account? links to it. The same sign-in page carries the Google and Sign in with Apple buttons if you would rather not keep a password.
Verify your email
Section titled “Verify your email”You land on Verify your email. Tovari has emailed you a 6-digit code.
- Type the code into the six boxes.
- Press Verify email.
If the mail has not arrived, Resend code sends another. Resending is deliberately rate-limited: you must wait about half a minute between requests, and there is an hourly cap on how many you can ask for. If you hit the cap, wait and try again — nothing is wrong with your account.
Typed the wrong address? Try a different email takes you back to the sign-up form. Your first attempt is kept, so entering that same email and password again picks up where you left off, on Verify your email. With a different password the form reports that the address is already registered — sign in, or reset the password from the sign-in page, instead.
Choose your plan
Section titled “Choose your plan”Once your email is verified and you have accepted Tovari’s policies, a new household that needs a subscription sees Choose your plan. It lists Monthly and Yearly with their prices, and — if your household can still claim it — marks each one Free to start and spells out how long the free trial lasts. Continue to payment asks for your card and billing address on one screen; both are processed by Stripe, and Tovari doesn’t store or retain them. When your subscription is confirmed, setup begins. Delete my account sits under the plan screen if you would rather not continue.
Turn on two-factor sign-in (optional)
Section titled “Turn on two-factor sign-in (optional)”Two-factor sign-in in Tovari means an authenticator app producing a six-digit code — for example Google Authenticator, 1Password, or Authy. There is no code-by-email option.
- Go to Settings, then the Security section in the left rail.
- The two-factor card shows Off. Press Turn on.
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app. If you cannot scan, the setup key is printed underneath for manual entry.
- Enter the six-digit code your app shows in Authenticator code, then press Turn on two-factor.
Step 4 is what actually switches it on. Starting the setup only reserves a secret; until you enter a working code, two-factor is still off and your next sign-in is unchanged.
From then on, signing in shows Two-factor verification — enter the code from your authenticator app and press Verify.
To switch it off later, the same card offers Turn off. Turning it off requires your password and a fresh code from the app; if either is missing, it stays on.
If your account signs in with Google or Apple, the card explains that two-factor is not available for it and offers no switch.
The Expo app handles sign-up, verification, and the two-factor challenge at sign-in. Setting two-factor up is the one part that is web-only — see the end of this tab.
Sign up
Section titled “Sign up”- On the sign-in screen, find New to Tovari? and tap Create account. The next screen’s heading reads Create your account.
- Fill in Full name, Email, Password, and Confirm password — all four are required, and Full name comes first. A rules checklist under the password field ticks off as you satisfy each rule; it never blocks the button — the server is the authority.
- Tap Continue.
Verify your email
Section titled “Verify your email”The Verify your email gate appears with six code cells and the address the code went to.
- Enter the 6-digit code. The screen submits as soon as the sixth digit lands, or you can tap Verify email.
- Need another? Tap the resend control. It disables itself and counts down — Resend in M:SS — using the wait the server tells it, so the app never guesses the cooldown. There is also an hourly cap.
On success a brief confirmation shows and the gate clears into the app.
Try a different email signs you out so you can start over. Creating an account again with the same email and password resumes your first attempt rather than refusing it.
Signing in with two-factor
Section titled “Signing in with two-factor”If two-factor is on for your account, signing in on mobile shows Two-factor verification with the prompt to enter the code from your authenticator app. Enter it and tap Verify.
Setting two-factor up
Section titled “Setting two-factor up”Do this in the web app. The mobile app ships the sign-in challenge only — its Settings screen has Household, Billing, and Safe to Spend sections and no Security section, so there is nowhere in the app to enroll or disable an authenticator. Once you have turned it on from the web, the mobile challenge above works immediately.
(Mobile Settings is reached from the Menu control in the screen header, then Settings.)
Where you are now
Section titled “Where you are now”You are signed in with a verified email address, and your household exists but has no accounts in it. Next: add your first account.
