Account & Authentication

This page covers creating an account, signing in, resetting your password, verifying your email, and two-factor authentication.

Creating an account

1. Go to the registration page.
2. Choose Continue with Google for one-click signup, or fill in:
   • Name
   • Email
   • Subdomain (your unique URL, e.g. your-company.schedulingkit.com — auto-suggested from your name)
   • Password and confirmation
3. Accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
4. Click Create your account.

After registration, you'll be taken through the onboarding wizard.

Subdomain

Your subdomain is your team's unique URL. It's checked for availability as you type. Requirements:

• At least 3 characters
• Only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens
• Must be unique

Signing in

1. Go to the login page.
2. Choose Continue with Google or enter your email and password.
3. Optionally check Remember me to stay signed in.
4. Click Sign in.

If you've enabled two-factor authentication, you'll be prompted for your authentication code after entering your password.

Forgot password

1. On the login page, click Forgot your password?.
2. Enter your email address.
3. Click Send reset link.
4. Check your email for a password reset link.
5. Click the link and enter your new password.

Email verification

After registering, you may need to verify your email address:

1. Check your inbox for a verification email.
2. Click the verification link.
3. If you didn't receive it, click Resend verification email on the verification page.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security. After entering your password, you'll need to provide a code from your authenticator app.

Setting up 2FA

1. Go to Profile (from the user menu).
2. Find the Two Factor Authentication section.
3. Click Enable and scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.).
4. Enter the confirmation code to activate.
5. Save your recovery codes in a safe place — these let you sign in if you lose access to your authenticator.

Signing in with 2FA

1. Enter your email and password as usual.
2. On the two-factor challenge screen, enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app.
3. Alternatively, click Use a recovery code and enter one of your saved recovery codes.

Accepting a team invitation

If someone invites you to join their team:

1. You receive an email with an invitation link.
2. Click the link to go to the invitation page.
3. If you already have an account, enter your password to join.
4. If you're new, enter your name and create a password.
5. Click Join Team (or Create Account & Join).

Google sign-in

You can sign in or register with your Google account:

1. Click Continue with Google on the login or registration page.
2. Choose your Google account and grant permissions.
3. You'll be signed in (or a new account is created automatically).
