Signing In to Vinst

Everything you need to create a Vinst account, sign in, reset a forgotten password, and verify your email so you can save and print your cookbooks.

The basics, at a glance

Create your account — with an email and password, or one tap with Google/Apple
Sign in the same way, any time you come back
Forgot your password? Reset it by email — no account recovery questions needed
Verify your email — required before you can print a cookbook

Creating your account

Head to my.vinst.me/login, or you'll be prompted automatically the moment you try to save your work.

You've got two options:

One tap with Google or Apple — click "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Apple" and you're in.
Email and password — click "Continue with email", then the "Sign Up" tab. Enter your email, choose a password, and confirm it.

💡 Password rules: at least 8 characters, with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, and a number.

Either way, we'll send a verification email right after your account is created — more on that below.

The email sign-up form looks like this:

Signing in

Same place, same buttons — "Continue with Google," "Continue with Apple," or "Continue with email" and the "Sign In" tab.

📌 Being asked to sign in mid-task? If you try to save a cookbook, print, or use certain AI tools without being signed in, Vinst will pop up this same sign-in window right where you are — finish signing in and you'll land right back where you left off.

On mobile:

A sign-in prompt triggered mid-task appears as a pop-up window like this:

Forgot your password?

Click "Forgot password?" right below the password field on the sign-in tab, enter your email, and click "Send reset link."

You'll see a confirmation that a link is on its way:

Open the email and click the link — it takes you to a page where you can set a new password.

💡 This is also how you change your password even if you're not locked out — there's no separate "change password" option in your account settings, so this reset flow is the way to do it.

📌 Heads up: resetting your password signs you out everywhere, so you'll need to sign back in afterward with your new password.

Verifying your email

Right after you sign up, we send a verification email automatically. You don't have to act on it right away — but you will need to before you can print or order a physical cookbook.

To verify: open the email and click the link inside.

Email didn't arrive? Go to your Account page and click "Resend verification email." Check your spam or junk folder too — it's a common landing spot for this one.

📌 A resend cooldown of a couple of minutes applies between clicks, so if the button doesn't respond right away, that's why.

Once verified, your Account page will simply show a green "Verified" status — nothing else to do.
