Accessing UNPRESS

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 and Apple.

Getting Access

There are two ways to access the UNPRESS platform today:

Receive an exclusive invitation from someone already on UNPRESS to get immediate access.
If you do not have an exclusive invitation, you can go to the website and sign in to automatically get added to 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 return to the login page and log back in with the same account you signed up with. You will then be taken to the profile creation page, where you must fill in some information before the signup process is complete.

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 or enter it into your browser, 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.

Exclusive Invite Page

Once you click “Join Now!” you will be taken to the login page and asked to login as explained in the section below. Once you login your account will be automatically approved and you will start the process of setting up your profile.

If you are unable to receive an invitation from a current UNPRESS member, you can get on the waiting list. Start the process by opening a browser and go to https://www.unpress.com/signup or sign up in the mobile app. Note that both the https://www.unpress.com/signup and https://www.unpress.com/login pages will take you to the same place.

Logging In

UNPRESS Login Page

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.
You will then be taken to the 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.

If you completed these steps using an exclusive invitation, you will be taken directly to accept the terms of use and setup out your profile. See, setting up your profile, for more information.

If you do not have an exclusive invitation, you will see the following page. Once you get to this spot, you will automatically be placed on the waiting list.
