# Create and Sign In to Your Account (/docs/getting-started/create-account-and-sign-in)



## Create an Account [#create-an-account]

To create an account:

1. Open the sign-up page.
2. Enter your details.
3. Submit the form.
4. Check your inbox for the verification email.
5. Verify your email before trying to use the main app.

## Email Verification [#email-verification]

GeoQR requires email verification for password-based accounts.

Until your email is verified:

* you may be able to sign in
* but you will not finish the normal setup flow cleanly

If you do not see the email:

* check spam or junk
* confirm you used the correct address
* try signing in again to trigger another verification flow if needed

## Sign In [#sign-in]

You can sign in with your GeoQR account and continue to the app.

After sign-in, GeoQR sends you to:

* your dashboard, if you already have an active organization
* onboarding, if you still need to join or create an organization

## Forgot Your Password [#forgot-your-password]

Use the forgot-password flow if you cannot sign in with your password.

You will receive a reset link by email. Use that link to set a new password and then sign in again.

## Two-Factor Authentication [#two-factor-authentication]

GeoQR supports authenticator-based two-factor authentication.

When 2FA is enabled:

* you sign in with your password first
* then confirm the sign-in with a 6-digit authenticator code

When you enable 2FA, GeoQR also shows backup codes. Save those codes somewhere safe. Each code can be used once.

## Important to Know [#important-to-know]

* Two-factor setup currently works for accounts that have a password.
* If your account does not yet have a password, set one first and then return to the security settings.
