Signing in with Google

Google is the only way to sign in to the dashboard or to create an account. This page shows the sign-in screen, what happens after it, and the messages a customer may meet.

  • DashboardAvailable

The dashboard is the website where a customer looks after their account. It lives at haruno.ai/dashboard.

There is one way in: Continue with Google. There is no password and no other sign-in button. The same button creates the account the first time.

The sign-in screen. The language switch sits under the card on a wide screen.
The dashboard sign-in screen: the Haruno logo, the title Sign in to your account, a Continue with Google button, and a line saying to use that button to create an account.

Signing in

  1. Open the dashboard

    Go to haruno.ai/dashboard. It opens the English sign-in screen. The language switch under the card changes the language.

  2. Press Continue with Google

    Haruno hands you to Google. Pick the Google account you want to use.

  3. Land on Usage

    You come back to the dashboard. For a moment it says "Finishing sign-in…". Then it opens the Usage page.

A first-time visitor sees the line "Don't have an account? Use “Continue with Google” above to create one." That is the whole sign-up.

Where you land

  • If you were already signed in, the sign-in screen sends you straight to the dashboard.
  • If you open any dashboard page while signed out, you are sent to sign in first. After that you come back to the page you wanted. A promo link and an app sign-in both rely on this.
  • A session that has run out is renewed quietly. If it cannot be renewed, you are sent back to the sign-in screen.

When sign-in does not work

The sign-in screen shows the reason in a red box under the button. The button stays, so the person can try again.

The sign-in screen with a red message: This account needs help connecting to Google. Contact support to restore access.
Older accounts that used a password

An account that was made with a password cannot sign in with Google by itself. Our team has to restore it. The customer sees "This account needs help connecting to Google. Contact support to restore access." Haruno does not make a second account and does not merge the two on its own. Send the customer to support.

The screen that follows Google can fail too. It shows "Sign-in did not complete. Please try again." with a Back to sign in link.

The screen after Google, when something went wrong.
A red message reading Sign-in did not complete. Please try again, with a Back to sign in link under it.

After an account is deleted

When a customer deletes their account, they land on the sign-in screen with the note "Your account and data have been deleted." See Delete your account.

The note a customer sees once after deleting their account.
The sign-in screen with a pink note above the Google button: Your account and data have been deleted.

Good to know

  • No passwords. The Account page has no password box.
  • The Mac and Windows apps sign in through this website. The app opens a page here and the customer approves it. See Approve a desktop app.
  • To leave, use Sign out at the bottom of the sidebar. See Getting around.
