Log in across all your devices
Trick Dash never collects your email, phone number, or any personal data. Here's how to move your account between iPhone, Android, and the web.
Two ways to log in
Recommended
Passkeys
Passkeys use Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint, or your device password to log you in. They sync automatically across your devices through iCloud Keychain (Apple), Google Password Manager (Android/Chrome), or your browser's built-in password manager. Set up once, log in everywhere.
Transfer Codes
A one-time 8-character code that moves your account to a new device. Good for 24 hours, single use. Best when passkeys aren't available, or you're switching between Apple and Android ecosystems.
| Passkey | Transfer Code |
|---|
| Works across devices | Yes, auto-syncs | Yes, manual |
| Reusable | Unlimited | One-time use |
| Expires | Never | 24 hours |
| Apple to Android | Requires QR scan | Easiest method |
| Requires biometrics | Yes | No |
Setting up a passkey
A passkey is a cryptographic key stored securely on your device. It replaces passwords entirely. When you set one up on Trick Dash, it syncs to all your devices through your platform's keychain.
- Open Trick Dash and go to Settings (gear icon, top right)
- Tap Account Security
- Tap Set Up Passkey
- Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint, or your device password
This is a one-time setup. You won't need to do this again on this device.
- Done. Your passkey syncs automatically across your devices.
Logging in on a new device with your passkey
If your new device is on the same platform (e.g., both Apple, or both Android/Chrome), your passkey should appear automatically when you open Trick Dash.
If you're moving between platforms (e.g., iPhone to Android), you can use your phone as a security key:
- Open Trick Dash on the new device
- Go to Settings then Account Security
- Tap Sign in with Passkey
- Your browser will show an option to scan a QR code with your phone
- Scan the QR code using the device that has your passkey
- Authenticate on your phone. Your account transfers instantly.
Using a transfer code
Transfer codes are a simple, platform-agnostic way to move your account. They work in any scenario: iPhone to Android, Android to web, web to iPhone, or any other combination.
On your current device (the one you're logged into):
- Open Trick Dash and go to Settings
- Tap Account Security
- Tap Generate Transfer Code
- Write down or screenshot the 8-character code
The code is valid for 24 hours and can only be used once.
On your new device:
- Open Trick Dash (you'll start as a guest)
- Go to Settings then Account Security
- Under "Have a Transfer Code?", enter your 8-character code
- Tap Go. Your full account loads instantly: profile, favorites, chats, everything.
Common scenarios
iPhone to iPhone (or iPad)
If both devices use the same Apple ID, your passkey syncs through iCloud Keychain. Just open Trick Dash on the new device and your account loads automatically. No action needed.
Android to Android
If both devices use the same Google account, your passkey syncs through Google Password Manager. Open Trick Dash in Chrome on the new device and your account loads automatically.
iPhone to Android (or vice versa)
Passkeys don't sync between Apple and Google. Use a transfer code for the smoothest experience. Generate the code on your old device, enter it on the new one. If both devices are nearby, you can also scan a QR code during the passkey sign-in flow.
Phone to desktop browser
Open Trick Dash in your desktop browser. Go to Account Security and tap "Sign in with Passkey." Your browser will prompt you to scan a QR code with your phone. Scan it, authenticate, and you're in. Alternatively, generate a transfer code on your phone and enter it on desktop.
New phone, old one lost or broken
If you set up a passkey and your new phone uses the same Apple ID or Google account, your passkey is already synced through the cloud. Open Trick Dash and you're back in.
If you never set up a passkey, your account can't be recovered. This is by design: we don't store emails or phone numbers, so there's no "forgot password" flow. This is why we strongly recommend setting up a passkey.
Using Trick Dash on multiple devices at once
With a passkey, you can be logged in on multiple devices simultaneously. Your profile, favorites, and conversations stay in sync. Messages arrive in real time on all devices through WebSocket.
Frequently asked questions
What if I don't set up a passkey or save a transfer code?
Your account lives only on your current device. If you lose the device, clear your browser data, or uninstall the app, your account is gone permanently. We can't recover it because we don't store any identifying information.
Is my passkey sent to Trick Dash's servers?
No. Only the public half of the key is stored on our server. The private half never leaves your device (or your platform's encrypted keychain). This is the same technology used by banks, Google, and Apple for passwordless authentication.
Can I have multiple passkeys?
Currently one passkey per account. Since passkeys sync through iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager, one passkey covers all your devices on the same platform. For cross-platform, use a transfer code.
My transfer code isn't working.
Transfer codes expire after 24 hours and are single-use. If the code has been used or expired, generate a new one from the device you're currently logged in on. Codes are 8 characters, letters and numbers only (no O, 0, I, or 1 to avoid confusion).
I see "Passkeys are not supported on this device."
Some older browsers and devices don't support WebAuthn passkeys. Try updating your browser to the latest version. If it still doesn't work, use a transfer code instead. Transfer codes work on every device.
Why no email login?
Privacy is core to Trick Dash. We don't store your email address, so there's nothing to use for "forgot password." Passkeys give you the same account security (actually stronger) without requiring personal information. Your identity stays yours.
I want to delete my account on one device but keep it on another.
Account deletion is permanent and removes your data from all devices. If you just want to sign out of one device, clear the browser data or uninstall the app on that device only. Your account continues on any other device where you're logged in.
