Signing in
How to sign in to baojai.com, what each of the three ways in does, and what to do when it will not let you. Most of the site is readable signed out — you need an account the moment you want to book a class or apply to coach. (Writing articles needs more than an account: authors are allow-listed.)
Open to everyone. If you arrived here because you pressed something that needs an account, the page remembers where you were going and returns you there after you sign in.
Steps
- 1
Open the sign-in page.
You should see · "Welcome back" with an email field ① and a password field ②.
What it means · If you got here by pressing Book, Apply or Write, the address bar ends in `?next=…`. That is the page you will be sent back to — it is why you do not have to find your way again after signing in.
- 2
Type the email address you signed up with.
You should see · The address appears in field ①.
What it means · It has to be the same address you created the account with. Signing up with Google and then typing that same address here with a password will not work — see "Problems" below.
- 3
Type your password in ①, then press Sign in.
You should see · The button reads "Signing in…" while it works. On success you land on the page you came from, or the home page.
What it means · Forgotten it? Link ② carries whatever you typed in the email box over to the reset page, so you do not have to type it twice.
- 4
Or use ① Continue with Google, or Continue with Apple below it.
You should see · A new window from Google or Apple asks you to choose an account, then returns you to Baojai.
What it means · These create an account the first time you use them — there is no separate sign-up step. Pick the same one every time: signing in with Google on one visit and Apple on the next can leave you with two accounts that do not share bookings, especially when Apple hides your real address behind a relay.
⚠ Use one sign-in method consistently — mixing them is the usual cause of "my bookings vanished".
- 5
Confirm you are signed in.
You should see · The header's Sign in link is replaced by your initial in a circle, which opens the account menu.
What it means · Anything that needed an account now works, and the page you were originally trying to reach has already opened by itself.
Every field explained
The address the account was created with.
If it is wrong · Sign-in fails without saying which of the two was wrong — deliberately, so nobody can use this page to discover which addresses are registered.
Example: you@example.com
The password you set at sign-up, or the one you last set through a reset link.
If it is wrong · Same generic failure as above. Use "Forgot password?" rather than guessing repeatedly.
How to tell it worked
- ✓The header shows your account circle instead of a Sign in link.
- ✓You are returned to whatever you were trying to do before signing in.
- ✓"My classes" in the account menu lists your bookings.
Problems
"Failed to fetch" and nothing else happens
Why · The browser could not reach the Baojai backend at all. This is a network or configuration problem, not a wrong password.
Fix · Check your connection and retry. If it persists on a good connection, report it — the account is fine.
The password is definitely right but sign-in is refused
Why · The account was most likely created through Google or Apple, so it has no password at all.
Fix · Use the same Continue with Google / Apple button you used originally.
Signed in, but the bookings and articles are gone
Why · You are in a second account. It usually happens after switching sign-in method — an Apple relay address in particular looks like a different person to us.
Fix · Sign out and back in with the method you first used. Contact the team if you cannot tell which that was.
The reset link says it is not valid
Why · A newer reset request replaced it. Only the most recent link works, so asking twice invalidates the first email.
Fix · Open the newest email in the thread, or request one more and use only that one.
