Which login method should I choose?

2 min. readlast update: 02.21.2024

There are a few different options you can choose from when you first sign up to Planta: Sign up with Apple, Sign up with Google, or Sign up with email. These options can somewhat impact how you use Planta. Here's a guide to help you choose which option is best for you. We usually recommend using the 'Sign up with email' option.

Sign up with Apple

When you sign up using your Apple ID, your plant data and subscription information are linked to your ID, therefore, if you get a new device your account will transfer over automatically as long as you log in using the same Apple ID. This option also allows you to keep your personal email address private, as Apple will automatically assign you a randomly-generated email, which allows you to get in contact with us at Planta without revealing your personal email

One thing to bear in mind though is that if you wish to share your account with someone else (it is currently possible to use the same Planta account on 2 different devices), you'll need to use the same ID on both devices which understandably isn't always ideal! Therefore, if you'd like to share your account, we'd recommend using a different login option. 

Sign up with Google

When you sign up using your Google acount, your plant data and subscription information are linked to your Google account, therefore, if you get a new device your account will transfer over automatically as long as you log in using the same Google account. This option also allows you to login with having to enter a password.

One thing to bear in mind though is that if you wish to share your account with someone else (it is currently possible to use the same Planta account on 2 different devices), you'll need to use the same ID on both devices which understandably isn't always ideal! Therefore, if you'd like to share your account, we'd recommend using a different login option. 

Sign up with email

This option is typically the most straightforward choice, as it makes it easy for you to share your Planta account with another person - just log in using the same email and password combination on both devices. It also means that if you get a new device, your account information will transfer over automatically when you log in using your email on the new device.
