There is no password to choose: you either continue with Google, or Lexpoint emails you a single-use link that signs you in. Go to [**my.lexpoint.io/auth/register**](https://my.lexpoint.io/auth/register). The heading reads *Create your account*. ```media id: getting-started-register type: screenshot caption: The sign-up screen, with the Google button above the email field. shot: /auth/register — full page, no partner code in the URL, nothing typed into the email field. Demo browser, light mode, 1440×900. Crop browser chrome. src: /media/individuals/getting-started-register.webp ``` ## Sign up with Google 1. Select **Continue with Google**. 2. Google opens **Choose an account** — *to continue to Lexpoint.io*. Pick the Google account you want to use, then approve the request if Google asks. ```media id: getting-started-google-chooser type: screenshot caption: Google’s account picker, naming Lexpoint.io as the app you are continuing to. shot: Continue with Google from /auth/register until the Google “Choose an account” screen. Crop browser chrome. Redact every account name, email, and photo. src: /media/individuals/getting-started-google-chooser.webp ``` You are returned to Lexpoint signed in. Your name comes across from Google, so the name question is skipped later during onboarding. ## Sign up with an emailed link 1. Under **or continue with email**, type your address into **Email address**. 2. Select **Send Magic Link**. 3. Lexpoint confirms *Magic link sent! Check your email and click the link to create your account.* 4. Open the email and select the link. It signs you in and returns you to Lexpoint. ```media id: getting-started-register-link-sent type: screenshot caption: The confirmation under the button after a magic link is sent. shot: /auth/register — after Send Magic Link succeeds, green confirmation visible under the button. Light mode, 1440×900. No email address on screen. src: /media/individuals/getting-started-register-link-sent.webp ``` If bot protection is triggered, a verification challenge appears under the button. Wait for it to show a checkmark, then select **Send Magic Link** again — the first attempt is not lost, it is asked only to prove you are a person. :::caution[The link signs in whoever opens it] A magic link is a credential. Do not forward the email, and do not open it on a shared computer you will not sign out of. ::: Because a link arrives in the same inbox every time, the email address you sign up with is the one you must keep access to. Choose a personal address you will still control in a year, not a work address you lose when you change jobs. ## Which method was used last Both buttons can show a small **Last used** tag. It marks the method this browser used most recently, so returning to the screen does not require remembering which one you picked. It is a hint, not a restriction — either method still works. ## Terms, and where your data sits Below the form: *By continuing, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.* Both open on lexpoint.io. The panel beside the form states that data is hosted in Canada. ## If you arrived through a partner link A sign-up link from a partner carries a code, and two things change. - The subtitle under the heading names the partner instead of Lexpoint. - A **Partner connection** dialog opens: *You're signing up via* the partner, with a consent statement and the checkbox **I agree to connect with this partner**. Your choices in that dialog: | Control | What it does | |---|---| | **Done** | Keeps the connection, with the checkbox as you left it. | | **No, continue without partner** | Removes the partner from this sign-up. | | Closing the dialog | Collapses it into a small **Partner connection** card with a **Review** link, so you can come back to it. | On a partner link where consent is required, declining opens a second confirmation — *Skip partner connection?* — with **Go back** and **Skip anyway**. It states that a skipped partner may not see your status or progress in their dashboard, and that you can connect later under Settings, Partners. ## If you were invited to an organization An invite link shows a banner above the form: *Invited to join* the organization *as* a role. **Not now** dismisses the banner and signs you up as an ordinary individual account instead. ## What happens next The first sign-in creates your account record and sends you straight into onboarding at `/app/onboarding`. You cannot reach the dashboard until onboarding is finished — that is enforced, not a suggestion, because the rest of the product is calculated from those answers. ## Related - [Onboarding, step by step](/individuals/getting-started/onboarding/) — the five questions that come immediately after this - [Sign in and account recovery](/individuals/getting-started/sign-in/) — how to get back in on every later visit - [Two-step verification](/individuals/account/two-step-verification/) — add an authenticator app once you are inside - [Your account settings](/individuals/account/) — sign-in methods, notifications, privacy ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Lexpoint use passwords? No. A client account is created and accessed either with Google or with a single-use magic link sent to your email address. There is no password field on the sign-up or sign-in screen, so there is no password to forget or to steal. ### What happens if I sign up with an email address that already has an account? Nothing is duplicated. The same form sends a magic link, and the confirmation reads "click the link to sign in" rather than "to create your account". You land in the account you already have. ### Can I use the same account for Google and for email links? Yes. Every method you have used is listed under Settings, Account, Sign-in & security as a connected sign-in method.
