Your address
Your household has its own web address. Saving it is the one thing worth doing before anything else.
Your household has its own web address, something like baybay.xyz/moss-lark-42. Bookmark it, or add it to your home screen. It is the front door, and it does not change.
Where to find it
It is in the address bar whenever you are using baybay, and it is printed at the top of Settings under Your address with a button to copy it. If we set your household up for you, it is also in the first email we sent.
What to do with it
- Add it to your home screen. The most useful of the three, because it also makes baybay open full screen. How to do that.
- Bookmark it in whichever browser you actually use on your phone.
- Send it to yourself — a message or an email to yourself is a fine backup, and easier to search for later than a bookmark.
Staying signed in
Once you are in, baybay keeps you signed in on that device for 90 days, and every visit starts the clock again. In practice, a phone you use daily stays signed in indefinitely.
Clearing your browser data signs you out, and so does using a different device for the first time. Neither loses anything — you just sign in again. Getting back in.
Is the address secret?
Knowing the address is not the same as getting in. Anyone opening it without a session sees a sign-in screen asking for your household code or an emailed link, so a bookmark on a shared laptop is not an open door.
Treat it as private anyway. There is no reason to post it anywhere, and the address is the one thing every way in has in common.
