Creating Your Account

Overview

This article explains how to sign up for a new WhatGenius account. You only need to do this once — after your account is created, you sign in each time you return.

Before you start

• You need a valid email address, or a Google account.
• If someone has invited you to join an existing workspace, use the link in the invitation email instead of signing up from scratch. See Joining a workspace from an invitation below.

How to create an account

1. Go to the WhatGenius sign-up page. You will see a “Create your account” heading at the top.
2. Choose how you want to register:
   • With Google: Click the Sign in with Google button. You will be redirected to Google to select your account. Once you confirm, your account is created and you are signed in immediately — no email verification needed.
   • With email: Continue with the steps below.
3. Fill in the registration form:
   • Full Name — Your display name inside WhatGenius.
   • Email — The address you will use to sign in.
   • Password — At least 6 characters.
   • Phone Number — Optional.
4. Read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links at the bottom of the form, then tick the acceptance checkbox.
5. Click Create account. The button is greyed out until you tick the checkbox.
6. A success screen appears showing a checkmark animation and the message “You’re all set”. It confirms that a verification email has been sent to your address.
7. Open your inbox, find the email from WhatGenius, and click the verification link inside it.
8. Once verified, click Continue to sign in on the success screen (or go directly to the sign-in page) to log in for the first time.

Joining a workspace from an invitation

If a teammate has invited you to their workspace, you will receive an invitation email.

1. Click the link inside the invitation email. You will be taken to a special registration page.
2. Complete the registration form as described above (or sign in with Google if you already have an account).
3. After you finish, you will automatically be added to the inviting team’s workspace with the role they assigned you.

Tips & things to know

• Email verification is required. You cannot sign in with an email/password account until you click the verification link. If you did not receive the email, go to the sign-in page, enter your email, and look for the “Resend verification email” link.
• Google sign-up skips verification. If you register with Google, your email is automatically considered verified.
• Password minimum. Passwords must be at least 6 characters long.
• You can only tick the terms checkbox after filling in your name and email. The form validates as you go.
