Receiving the "New login detected on your Springly account" notification – Springly Help Center

What is this feature?

To keep your account and your nonprofit's data secure, Springly automatically detects sign-ins from new devices and sends you an email alert.

How does it work?

When you sign in to Springly from a new device, a recognition cookie is saved in your browser for 90 days and renewed with each sign-in.

If a sign-in is detected from an unrecognized device, you'll immediately receive an alert email.

What's included in the alert

The notification email includes:

📅 Exact date and time of the sign-in
🌐 Browser used (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.)
💻 Operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android)

What should you do if you receive an alert?

✅ If it was you

No action needed. You simply signed in from a new device (a new phone, a colleague's computer, a tablet, etc.). That device is now recognized for the next 90 days.

⚠️ If it was NOT you

Change your password immediately from a trusted device
Review recent activity on your account (changes, emails sent, data access)
Contact Springly support if you notice any suspicious activity

Why do I keep receiving alerts?
