Try logging in with your Milkshake URL

Logging in with your Milkshake URL is only available in version 1.7.1 and higher. If you are on an older version, update or skip this section.

  • Tap on the ‘Your password’ field

  • You will see a hint that will let you know what sign in method you used with this account.

What is my Milkshake URL?

Your Milkshake URL is the web address that you can use to visit your Milkshake site.

For example, our site is https://msha.ke/go.milkshake (feel free to pay us a visit 😉)

When you log in, you just need to enter the part of the address after the `msha.ke`

For example, we would enter, go.milkshake
