Logging into your Strava account just got easier and more secure!

Athletes who log in with an email and password will now be able to sign in to their Strava accounts through a one-time code, eliminating the need to remember a password.

Athletes can enable one-time codes via their Settings page or by clicking “forgot password” from the log in page on the web or through their iPhone or Android device. 

For more information check out this Help Center article: One-Time Codes on Strava

In order to be able to sign in via one-time code you must have the latest app version of Strava.

Seeing the complaints in 

 the question is if going back from one time codes to the much faster and user friendly usage of saved passwords is enabled meanwhile or at least in the pipeline?

This is not more convenient, it is less convenient. Please implement real TOTPs or passkeys, not this annoying email login flow!

FFS!  It’s a list of bicycle rides, not internet banking.

How do we stop getting asked to use a sign in code EVERYTIME we log into strava?

Another fine mess you’ve gotten me into… Strava, please stop trying to make my life easier.  Another ‘upgrade’ that is making your app worse.  Please make it possible to revert back to the password method of logging in.  This is close to the last straw.

This feature is awful. There was nothing wrong with a standard username and password box that a password manager would deal with in an instant.

It is not easier - it’s much slower and more annoying. Even if you want you use a password it’s multiple clicks to navigate through to the point where it lets you enter a password. If you do use the email you’re sat twiddling your thumbs waiting for the email to arrive.

What a complete waste of time this change is. If you want to add actual security let people set up real 2FA with an authenticator app.
