Log in to the App

Staff can use a PIN to log in to the app, instead of typing in their email and password each time they log in. To do this:

  • Log in to the Famly app using your email and password

  • Click your picture in the right-hand corner

  • Click on My account

  • Click on the Password and PIN tab

  • Here, you can set a login PIN

Please note: you’ll need to re-authenticate your PIN every 30 days using your preferred non-pin authentication method by re-entering your password or signing in via SSO (single sign-on).


Auto Logout

Sessions in the app time out after 5 minutes of inactivity to prevent devices from being left logged in. Using the pin to log in can speed up sign-in time, however, you can also change the time of auto-logout.

To do so:

  • Go to your Settings in your sidebar

  • Click on Security

  • Select Auto-logout times

  • Choose the auto-logout times for different roles at your center


Find your PIN code

If you have forgotten your 4-digit PIN code, it can be found by:

  • Logging in to the Famly app using your email and password

  • Clicking on your picture in the right-hand corner

  • From here, go to My account

  • Click the Password and PIN tab

  • Type your password and press Show PIN

  • Your PIN will now be visible


Change your PIN

You can change your chosen pin at any time. You can do this by:

  • Logging in to the Famly app using your email and password or PIN

  • Clicking on your picture in the right-hand corner

  • From here, go to My account

  • Click the Password and PIN tab

  • Type your password and press Show PIN

  • Your old PIN will show at the top, and you'll see a field where you can enter your New 4-digit PIN

  • To save your new PIN, click on Set PIN
