# Signing in

> Create an account with email and password or Google, confirm your email, reset a forgotten password, and accept an invitation.

Watx is at [app.watx.in](https://app.watx.in). There are two ways to sign in and
both create the same kind of account.

## Create an account

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Email and password">
    On **Create account**, fill in:

    * **Full name**
    * **Email**
    * **Password** — at least 6 characters — and **Confirm password**

    Watx sends a confirmation link to that address and shows **Check your
    email**. Click the link to verify the account and finish setting up; it
    brings you back into Watx signed in.

    Until you click it, the account is not usable.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Google">
    Press **Continue with Google** on either the sign-in or the create-account
    screen and choose your Google account.

    Google has already verified the address, so there is no confirmation email —
    you land straight in the setup wizard or, if you already have workspaces, in
    the app.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

New accounts go to the welcome wizard: name the workspace, then choose a plan.
See [Quickstart](/getting-started/quickstart).

## Sign in

Enter your email and password on **Welcome back**, or press **Continue with
Google**. Use the same method you signed up with.

After sign-in:

* if you belong to **one workspace**, or none, you go straight into the app;
* if you belong to **several**, Watx asks **Choose a workspace** first. See
  [Workspaces](/getting-started/workspaces).

## Forgotten password

<Steps>
  <Step title="Ask for a link">
    On the sign-in screen press **Forgot password?**, enter your email and press
    **Send reset link**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the email">
    Click the link in the message. It signs you in and takes you to **Choose a
    new password**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the new password">
    Enter a new password of at least 6 characters, confirm it and press **Update
    password**. You land in the dashboard already signed in.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  A reset link works **once, and only in the browser that opened it**. Open it
  in a different browser — or after it has been used — and Watx says the link
  has expired and offers a fresh one. Request a new link rather than retrying
  the old one.
</Warning>

To change a password you still know, use **Settings → Login & security**
instead; that form asks for your current password first. See [Security and
privacy](/account/security-and-privacy).

## Accepting an invitation

An invite arrives as a link of the form `https://app.watx.in/join/<token>`.
Opening it verifies the invitation and shows the workspace you are being invited
to, the role attached and when the link expires.

* **Already signed in** — press **Accept**. The membership is added and you land
  in that workspace.
* **Not signed in** — the page offers **Sign up** and **Sign in**. Both carry
  the invitation with them, so after the email round-trip you come back to the
  same page to accept.

<Note>
  Signing up **through** an invite does not create a personal workspace for you.
  You join the one that invited you, and that is the only workspace you are in.
</Note>

If the link does not work, the page says which of these it is:

| Message                  | What happened                              |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Invite not found**     | The URL does not match a valid invitation. |
| **Invite already used**  | Someone has already accepted it.           |
| **Invite expired**       | Past the validity the inviter chose.       |
| **Something went wrong** | A temporary failure — press **Try again**. |

For the first three, ask the person who invited you to generate a new link; they
take a few seconds.

Accepting an invitation for a workspace you are already in is not an error —
Watx says you are already a member and takes you to the dashboard.

## Signing out

Use the user card at the bottom of the sidebar. To sign out of **every** device
at once, see [Security and privacy](/account/security-and-privacy).
