UNPRESS is currently in an exclusive invite-only release of our MVP. This means that while you can attempt to log in with your Google or Apple account via the web or mobile app, you will not be able to access the platform until your account has been approved or you receive an invitation from an existing member.
Supported Authentication Methods
UNPRESS uses external identity providers to authenticate your account. We currently support:
Google
Apple
In the future, we may add additional authentication providers such as:
X (Formerly known as Twitter)
Facebook / Instagram
Snap
Getting Access
There are two ways to access the UNPRESS platform today:
Sign in with a social account (Google or Apple) to get on the waiting list.
Receive an exclusive invitation from someone who is already on UNPRESS to get immediate access.
Receiving an Exclusive Invite
Each UNPRESS member has a number of unique invitations that they can provide to their friends, family, and network. These invitations provide immediate access. If you know someone who already has access, you can request that they send you an invitation.
The invitation will be in the form of a unique web address. When you click on that link, you will see the following page. You will see the username of the person who invited you, illustrated by the red username field. Then click on the orange “Join Now!” button that is outlined in red below to get access.
Once you click “Join Now!” you will be asked to login with your social account login as explained in the “Getting on the Waiting List” section below. Once you login your account will be automatically approved and you will start the process of setting up your profile.
Getting on the Waiting List
If you are unable to receive an invitation from a current UNPRESS member, you can follow the steps below to get on the waiting list.
As we open the platform to a broader audience, we will approve applicants in the order they signed up. Once approved, you will be notified by email. All you need to do is to return to the login page and log back in with the same account you signed up. You will then be taken to the profile creation page, where you will need to fill in some information before the signup process is complete. See, setting up your profile, for more information.
Steps to get on the Waiting List
Open a browser and go to https://www.unpress.com/signup or sign up in the mobile app.
When you arrive on the signup page, click one of the large social login buttons. The “G” button for Google login, or the Apple button to use your Apple ID.
Note that both the https://www.unpress.com/signup and https://www.unpress.com/login pages will take you to the same place.
You will then be taken to the Social Login Providers page, where you can log in with your Google Account or an Apple ID. Note that if you choose to login with your AppleID, and you opt to hide your email address, you may end up with different accounts on the Web and the Mobile application.
Once you login you will see the following notice. Once you have access this page, you will automatically be put on the waiting list - no further action from you is required.
