# Create your account

Sign up with your email address or with GitHub or Google, confirm your email and sign in. This guide also covers resetting a forgotten password and joining a team you were invited to.

## Before you start

- An email address you can open, or a GitHub or Google account.

## Step 1: Fill in the sign-up form

Open the Nuvlo sign-up page. Enter your **Full name**, **Email** and a **Password**, then type the password again in **Confirm password**.

A bar under the password rates it from **Weak** to **Strong**. A strong password is at least 8 characters long and mixes upper-case letters, numbers and symbols.

Click **Create account**.

By creating an account you accept the terms and confirm you have read the privacy policy. Both are linked under the form.

## Step 2: Confirm your email

Nuvlo sends a confirmation link to the address you entered and shows **Check your inbox**. Open the email and click the link.

If the email doesn’t arrive, check your spam folder, then click **Resend email**. You can resend once a minute. If you mistyped the address, click **Use a different email**.

The link signs you in and opens the dashboard. A new account starts on the **Get started** guide; see [Put your first site online](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/quick-start).

## Step 3: Sign in

Next time, open the **Sign in** page, enter your **Email** and **Password**, and click **Sign in**.

If you turned on two-factor sign-in, Nuvlo then asks for the code from your authenticator app. See [Two-factor authentication](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/two-factor-authentication).

The button for the method you used last in this browser shows a **Last used** label.

## Sign up or sign in with GitHub or Google

Under **Or continue with**, click **Continue with GitHub** or **Continue with Google**. The same buttons appear on the sign-up and sign-in pages.

A small window opens where you sign in at GitHub or Google and approve Nuvlo. When it closes, you land in the dashboard. If your browser blocks the window, the sign-in continues in the same tab instead.

## Reset a forgotten password

On the **Sign in** page, click **Forgot password?**. Enter your **Email** and click **Send reset link**.

Open the link in the email. On **Set new password**, enter a **New password**, confirm it and click **Update password**.

> **Warning:** A new password revokes all your API tokens and AI agent keys. Scripts and agents that use them stop working until you create new ones.

If two-factor sign-in is on, Nuvlo asks for your authenticator code before it saves the new password.

## Join a team you were invited to

When someone invites you to their team, what you see depends on whether you already use Nuvlo.

- **New to Nuvlo:** you get an invite email. Click the link, then on **Welcome to Nuvlo** choose a password of at least 8 characters and click **Set password & join team**.
- **Already a Nuvlo user:** you get a notification titled **You were invited to a team**. Open it from the bell at the top of the dashboard, then click **Join** followed by the team’s name.

After you join, Nuvlo opens the team’s workspace. Your own workspace is still there; switch between them with the workspace switcher at the top of the sidebar. See [Invite and manage team members](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/team-members).

An invite expires after 14 days. If the link no longer works, ask the person who invited you to resend it.

## Troubleshooting

**Link didn’t work.** Confirmation and reset links work once and expire. Sign in with your email and password; if you still need a link, request a new one.

**Couldn’t accept invite.** You must confirm your email address before you can join a team. If the invite expired or was already used, ask for a new one.
