Ever tried to sign back into an app and couldn’t remember how you logged in the first time?
Was it Google? Email? Magic link?
Or worse—did you get signed out of everything and have to start from scratch?
We’ve been there. That’s why Rownd uses browser fingerprinting to make sign-ins smoother, more intuitive, and more secure—without being invasive.
What is browser fingerprinting?
Browser fingerprinting is a way of uniquely identifying a device using its metadata—things like browser type, platform, and session behavior.
But unlike traditional tracking, Rownd’s approach is private by design. We don’t track across apps or try to build creepy profiles. Instead, we use fingerprinting for one goal:
👉 To help your users stay signed in where they expect to.
Why it matters for your users
When users come back to your app on the same device, Rownd can recognize their digital fingerprint and help them jump back in—often without needing to reverify.
It’s all about lowering friction and keeping your product feeling seamless.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Signed out? No problem. For a limited time, users can sign back in without a full verification step.
No more “how did I sign in?” moments. Rownd remembers the last sign-in method (like Google, phone, email, etc.) and surfaces it right away.
Longer session control. You get to decide how long users should stay signed in, based on what makes sense for your app.
It’s smart, not sticky
Rownd’s fingerprinting isn’t designed to cling to users forever—it’s about creating a respectful, time-bound window where getting back into your app is smooth and familiar.
Short-term memory for better UX
