How to sign in

Hovis has no password. Sign in with an emailed code, Google, or Face ID or fingerprint.

Updated October 2, 2026

There is no password to remember. You prove it is you with your email, your Google account, or your face or fingerprint.

1. Enter your email address. Use the same one you used to buy REI School or REIBIZ.
2. We email you a 6-digit code.
3. Type the code on the same page. It works for 10 minutes.

If you are a paying member, the code always goes to the email on your REI School account. That proves you own the inbox. Code not there? See I didn't get my sign-in code.

Tap Continue with Google and pick your account. If Google sign-in is down, you will see "Google sign-in is unavailable right now - use your emailed code." Use the code instead.

1. Sign in once with a code or Google.
2. Open Settings and tap Add Face ID or fingerprint.
3. Next time, open Hovis with your face or finger instead of typing.

If you see Sign in with Apple in the iPhone app, you can use it. If the iPhone app asks for an activation code, sign up at askhovis.ai in Safari instead.

Your welcome email has a button that signs you in. If it does nothing, see The button in my welcome email does nothing.
