The password gate

That password didn't work. Give it another try. Check the invitation; passwords are case-sensitive.

This event is locked. Enter the event password to upload. You reached an upload without unlocking first, usually from an old tab. Reload and enter the password.

Don't have the password? It's the host's; ask them. Partyreel can't share it.

See all the photos with an email field means the host asks guests to confirm an email before seeing the full album. See why an event asks for your email. If the code doesn't come, the email code didn't arrive.

This event is private: the host has closed the album to everyone but themselves, often temporarily. Check back, or ask them.
This event link didn't work: the link is mistyped, the event was deleted, or a custom link was changed. Ask the host for a fresh one. See the QR won't scan, or the link won't open.
