Mobile login (Android & iOS)

  1. Update the Chime app from Google Play / App Store.
  2. Open the app and tap "Log in".
  3. Enter your registered email or username (do not use passwords saved in insecure apps).
  4. If prompted, enter the code from your authenticator or SMS — prefer an authenticator app if available.
  5. If you can’t sign in, clear cache (Android) or reinstall the app (iOS), then try again.

Security best practices

  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if offered.
  • Use a long, unique passphrase (use a password manager).
  • Never follow login links from unsolicited emails—type the official address or use the app.
  • Check for official support channels when in doubt.
