## What it does

Create your account takes an email address and a password. After Continue, it asks for the rest.

| Field                      | What it takes                              |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| Your Name                  | Your full name                             |
| Business Name              | The name of your first organisation        |
| How did you hear about us? | Where you heard about Lucrii, if you like  |

The Google button is the other way in. It asks for none of that. The organisation it opens is named after your first name, or My Organisation where Google withholds the name.

Log in asks for the email address first. Continue reads the address's domain. Where its organisation requires single sign-on for that domain, the button becomes Log in with Google, which sends you to Google. Other addresses open the password field. Under the form are Google and Passkey, and Passkey appears where the browser supports one.

An account with two-factor turned on meets a Two-Factor Authentication panel after the password. It takes a six-digit code from an authenticator app, or a passkey. Where both are set up, buttons switch between them. Use a backup code is under either panel. One code clears either factor's challenge.

An invitation link opens a page saying who invited you, which organisation, and the role you are being given. Someone with an account accepts it outright. Someone without one fills in these fields, and Lucrii creates the account and joins it in one step.

| Field              | What it takes                          |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------- |
| Name               | Your name                              |
| Password           | A password for the new account         |
| What is your role? | Your role in the business, from a list |

## Before you start

Passwords need eight or more characters. Lucrii offers Passkey login only in a browser that supports it.

An invitation belongs to the address it was sent to. Logged in as another address, the page says so. It offers Log out and switch accounts in place of the accept action.

Lucrii keeps the destination you were headed for through a detour to Google or to the signup page. It also keeps it through the log in you are sent to after you are signed out. A link from an email, or a code entered by hand, still opens where it was meant to.

Signing up with a password sends a verification email. The app holds you at [the verification screen](/docs/account/email-verification.md) until the address is confirmed. An account opened through Google arrives verified and never meets the verification screen. Google has already confirmed the address.

## How to use it

1. Open the signup page and enter your email address and a password, then select Continue. Or select Google.
2. Enter your name and your business name, and select Create Account.
3. To log in later, enter your email address and select Continue, then your password and Log in.
4. Where a second factor is asked for, enter the six-digit code, or select Use Passkey.

To accept an invitation, open the link in the email.

- Logged in on the address it was sent to, select Accept Invitation.
- Without an account, fill in the three fields and select Create Account & Join.
- Logged in as somebody else, the page offers Log out and switch accounts.
- Logged out with an account already, select Log in to Accept. Logging in brings you back.

## Troubleshooting

If an invitation link shows Invalid Invitation, it has expired or already been used. Use the links on that page to log in or sign up.
