# Signing up

An account is free, needs a verified email address and a password, and creates an organization for you at the same time.

## The short answer

Choose **Start free** and enter your full name, a work email, a name for your organization and a password of at least ten characters, and pass the bot check. A verification link is sent to the address you gave; the account works once you follow it, and the link can be used once. No card is asked for at any point.

## Your organization

Every account belongs to an organization, even a solo one, because plans, counties, clusters and API keys belong to the organization rather than to a person. The organization named at sign-up is yours and you are its owner. If you were invited, follow the invitation link instead: the account is created already verified and joins that organization.

If a colleague’s organization has verified your email domain, you are shown it at first sign-in and can ask to join, or join at once, depending on how that organization is set up. You keep your own organization either way. The roles are on [organizations and members](/docs/account/organizations-and-members).

## Signing in

Sign-in is by email and password. Each sign-in has one active session, so signing in on a second device signs the first out. Two-factor authentication with an authenticator app is optional and personal; turn it on under Your account → Security. Product news is a box you can tick or leave; account, billing and security messages are sent regardless.
