Getting started

Sign in

On Android

  1. Open Public and tap Log In.
  2. Enter your email and password, then tap Log In — or tap Continue with Google.

On iOS

  1. Open Public and choose Sign in.
  2. Enter your email, then tap Continue with email to receive a sign-in code — or tap Use email and password instead and tap Log in with password.
  3. You can also tap Continue with Google.

Forgot your password?

  • On the web, choose Forgot password? on the sign-in page or open public.kim/forgot.
  • On Android, tap Forgot Password? on the Log In screen.
  • On iOS, tap Forgot password? after you switch to email and password.

You'll get an email with a reset link. After resetting, sign in with your new password. If the email never arrives, see Cannot sign in.

After you sign in
