How to access an onX account linked to your AppleID or Facebook account

If you've created an onX account in the past, you may have noticed additional sign-in options that allow you to use an Apple or Facebook account to create an onX account and log into the Hunt App or Web Map.

This can cause a situation wherein a user unknowingly has two separate onX accounts—one linked to their Facebook or AppleID account (which would utilize their AppleID or Facebook account credentials), and one linked to a different email and password that they provided in the past. 

Keep reading for more information on how to determine if your onX account is linked to your AppleID or Facebook account.

Accessing an onX account linked to your AppleID

If you use the option to "Continue with Apple" when initially signing up for an onX account, you may have signed up with a Private Relay email or used the "Hide My Email" feature provided by Apple.

• A Private Relay email is an encrypted email address consisting of a string of random letters and numbers ending in@privaterelay.appleid.com.
• The Hide my Email feature will create a randomized email address following the format "random-alias"@icloud.com.

If you're unsure if your Apple account is linked to your onX account, follow these steps to find it:

From an iPhone or iPad:

1. Open the Settings App.
2. Tap the name at the top of the screen to access your Apple ID settings.
3. Tap Sign in with Apple.
4. Choose onX Hunt from the list of Apps and Websites.
5. The associated Apple account and the provided email will be shown.

From a Desktop or Laptop computer:

1. Log in to appleid.apple.com.
2. Go to the Sign in & Security tab.
3. Click Sign in with Apple.
4. Select OnX Hunt.
5. The encrypted email will be listed under Hide My Email.

If either option shows an email linked to your AppleID account, you can use the "Continue with Apple" feature to sign in.

Some users may have two onX accounts: one linked to their actual Apple ID email address and another using a Private Relay email. If you'd like help merging these accounts, please click here to contact us.
