# Create an account and sign in

> Sign up with email or Google, sign in, reset a forgotten password, verify your account, and link Discord or Google.

Anyone can create a RoGenie account. No invite or approval is needed, and the [Free plan](https://rogenie.ai/docs/plans) needs no payment details.

## Sign up

1. Go to [rogenie.ai/login?mode=signup](https://rogenie.ai/login?mode=signup), or choose **Start free** on the home page.
2. Fill in the form:
   - **Email**: used to sign in, to confirm your account and for password resets.
   - **Username** and **Display name**: how you appear in RoGenie. Your display name can be up to 80 characters and can be changed later in Settings.
   - **Password**: at least 8 characters. A number or symbol makes it stronger.
3. Complete the verification challenge if one appears. It keeps bots out.
4. Click **Create account**.

Or choose **Sign up with Google** to create the account from your Google account in one step.

> **Note**
> If RoGenie sends you a confirmation email, open the link in it to confirm your address. Until then you may be asked to verify your account before you can use the agent. See [Verify your account](https://rogenie.ai/docs/accounts#verify-your-account).

## Sign in

Go to [rogenie.ai/login](https://rogenie.ai/login) and enter your **username or email** and password, or choose **Continue with Google** if that is how you signed up. A short verification challenge may appear first.

If your session ends while you are working, RoGenie shows a "your session ended" message and keeps your unsent message, so you can sign in again and carry on.

## Reset a forgotten password

1. On the sign-in page, choose **Forgot password?**.
2. Enter the email on your account and click **Send reset link**.
3. Open the link in the email, choose a new password and confirm it.

For privacy, RoGenie says the same thing whether or not the address has an account: "If that account exists, reset instructions have been sent." Check your spam folder if nothing arrives within a few minutes.

## Verify your account

To keep bots out, RoGenie can ask every account to prove it belongs to a real person before the agent will work for it. If you see **Verify your account to keep using RoGenie**, do any one of these:

- **Link Discord.** This also adds you to the [RoGenie Discord server](https://rogenie.ai/docs/discord).
- **Confirm an email address.** Enter or change your email, click send, then open the link in the email. You can resend after a short wait. Click **I've verified** once you have opened the link.
- **Continue with Google.** Link the Google account you use.

Your chats, settings and plan are all kept while the account is unverified. Only the agent's work (new messages, regenerating, summaries and reviews) waits until you verify.

## Linked accounts

Open **Settings › Account & Usage › Linked accounts** to see and change how your account is verified:

| Account | What you can do |
|---|---|
| **Email** | See whether it is confirmed, change it, or resend the confirmation link. |
| **Google** | Link or unlink a Google account. |
| **Discord** | Link or unlink Discord, see your Discord username, and join the server if you are not in it yet. |

A few rules keep accounts safe:

- You cannot unlink the account you sign in with if it is your only way in.
- If you unlink the only thing verifying your account, RoGenie asks first, because the agent pauses until you verify again.
- An email address, Google account or Discord account can belong to only one RoGenie account.

## Invite codes

Signing up is open to everyone, so you do not need an invite code. If someone gave you a code from the RoGenie Discord, you can redeem it at [rogenie.ai/invite](https://rogenie.ai/invite) to link your Discord account.

## Change your display name

Open **Settings › Account & Usage**, edit your display name and save. It is shown throughout the RoGenie website.

## Delete your account

See [Privacy, data and deleting your account](https://rogenie.ai/docs/privacy-and-data#delete-your-account).
