Account, login, and onboarding

ChoreHero uses a parent-managed account model. Parents own the household setup and child access rules.

Parent sign-in

Parents should always start from app.chorehero.cloud/login.

After sign-in, confirm that:

  • you land in the correct household
  • the parent dashboard loads without errors
  • your account settings are visible under Settings > Account

Child access paths

Child access can include:

  • direct child login screens
  • parent-managed quick-login links
  • trusted-device or approval-based flows

The exact combination depends on the household configuration and active plan features.

Onboarding flow basics

During initial setup, parents usually:

  1. create or confirm the household
  2. add children
  3. create the first chores and rewards
  4. confirm how children will sign in
  5. review settings and account controls

If a child cannot get in

Check these first:

  • is the child using the right household path?
  • was the quick-login link rotated or replaced?
  • was a device approval revoked?
  • did a recent plan change affect quick-login or device-approval access?

If the answers are unclear, continue with Troubleshooting.

If the wrong parent account signs in

Make sure you:

  • signed in with the expected parent identity
  • did not accidentally switch households
  • are not using an expired or stale browser session

Logging out and starting again from the main login page is usually the cleanest reset.

Account settings

The parent Settings > Account area is the main location for:

  • account-level review
  • billing and subscription actions
  • household-facing account maintenance

If you are writing support content for a new settings flow, update this article and the billing guide together when the change is user-facing.
