Clever Authentication

The easiest way to log in to Typing Pal is with a sign-in partner, but the district admin must first configure the Typing Pal application in the Clever Portal.

This function is unavailable if you use provisioning with ClassLink.

Start by linking your Clever and Typing Pal accounts. The linking is done from the Login page or from your Settings.

Once the two accounts are linked, simply click the link Log in with Clever and you’re done!

You can unlink the two accounts at any time. Super administrators, administrators and teachers can also unlink sign-in partners from other users’ accounts, depending on their management privileges.
