Gary Club

Signing in

Codes rather than passwords, why access is per address rather than per domain, adding and removing people, and why removal is the step to put on a checklist.

Updated September 21, 20265 min read

Your portal is at luna.gary.club. There is no password to create, share, forget or reset.

How signing in works

Enter your email

The address we added for you. Not a shared inbox, and not a distribution list.

We send a six digit code

It is good for fifteen minutes and can be used once.

Enter the code

You stay signed in on that device for thirty days.

Codes are hashed, single use, attempt capped and short lived. A six digit code is only safe while all four of those hold, which is why there is no option to make it longer lived or reusable.

Who can sign in

Only addresses we have added, one at a time. Access is deliberately not domain based.

A company domain has contractors on it, people who left last quarter, shared inboxes and aliases nobody owns. This portal reaches an operator that talks to your customers and knows what they said, so it is an explicit list rather than a rule about the part after the at sign.

If you ask for a code and nothing arrives, the address is almost certainly not on the list. We deliberately give the same response either way: a login that says no such user is a way for anyone to find out who works at your company.

Getting someone added

An owner asks

On Requests, or by replying to your thread with us.

Say the address and the role

Owner or team. See Settings for what each can do. Team is the right default for almost everyone.

They sign in the same way

Their own address, their own code, their own conversation thread.

Getting someone removed

Tell us the day they leave. Removal is immediate and covers everything: the portal, their thread with the operator, and any link they were sent.

This is the step most often forgotten. A leaver keeps access until somebody says so, and that access is a conversation with an operator that knows your customers, your pricing and your pipeline. It is worth adding to whatever offboarding checklist you already have.

Common questions

Not today. If it matters for your business, ask on Requests and we will scope it rather than guess at whether it is wanted.

You can, and you should not. Each person gets their own conversation with the operator, and a shared thread reads to it as one person contradicting themselves. It will try to reconcile positions that were never in conflict.

Tell us straight away. Requests are rate limited per address so an inbox cannot be used as a weapon, but somebody trying is worth knowing about.

Yes. Ask on your laptop and finish on your phone if that is easier.

What you see when you are in

The sidebar is grouped, and the grouping answers the question that was actually ambiguous when people first used it.

GroupWhat is in itWhat it is about
Your operator's nameOverview, Talk, Mail, AdsThe operator itself and what it is doing
TrainingTeach, Skills, Sales, GoalsWhat it knows, what it may do, how well it does it, what it is aiming at
SetupConnections, SettingsWiring and account
Gary ClubRequestsUs, not your operator

Ads only appears when an ad account is actually connected. A nav item that always leads to an empty state teaches people to stop reading the nav.

The last group is deliberately labelled with our name rather than yours, because it is the one place in the portal where you are talking to Gary Club rather than to your own operator.

On your phone

The portal works on a phone, and the sidebar becomes a row of pills across the top. Talk in particular is designed to be usable one handed, because the most common real use is checking something between meetings.

Troubleshooting

SymptomAlmost always
No code arrivesThe address is not on the list, or it is a different address from the one we added. Check for a plus alias or a different domain.
Code says it is wrongIt has expired, at fifteen minutes, or it has already been used. Ask for a new one.
Signed out sooner than thirty daysA different browser, a private window, or site data cleared.
You can see the portal but not the pages you expectedYou are a team member rather than an owner. See Settings.
