# Sign in

> Create your Jinn account, get back in when you're signed out, and set or reset your password.

Everything in Jinn hangs off your account: the workspaces you belong to, the [projects](https://docs.jinn.so/projects/manage-projects.md) you can
open, the recordings you're allowed to hear. Signing in is one screen, and there's no separate
registration form — the same screen creates the account if you don't have one yet.

## Create your account

Open Jinn and you land on **Welcome to Jinn**, under it **Sign in or create an account**.

![The Jinn sign-in screen: Welcome to Jinn, the email field and Continue](https://mintcdn.com/jinn/ZeeLrANQe1V9YBVz/images/workspace/sign-in-screen.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=ZeeLrANQe1V9YBVz\&q=85\&s=dc3b497504ae0b71973f2c65cfb71ee3)

One screen for both signing in and signing up

**1. Enter your email**

Type the address you want the account under and click **Continue**. A work address keeps
your meetings where your colleagues can be invited to them. A temporary address from a
throwaway-mail service is refused with *Temporary email addresses cannot be used to sign up.
Please use your regular email address.* If you typed a comma by mistake, Jinn suggests the
address it thinks you meant.

**2. Enter the code we sent**

Jinn emails you a six-digit code and the screen changes to **Check your inbox**. Type the
code and you're in, or click **Sign in with a magic link** in the same email. Both work for
30 minutes. If nothing arrives, check spam, then use **Resend code** — it's available again
after a short countdown.

There's no password to choose at this point. To add one later, click your avatar in the left
sidebar, then **Settings**. Under **Account settings** → **Password**, click **Set password**,
then **Send set link**. Jinn emails you a link; open it, type the new password twice, and click
**Save password**. The code by email keeps working either way.

## Set up your first workspace

A new account goes through a few full-page steps. Each one can be finished later, and you can
change everything afterwards in **Settings**.

1. **What should we call you?** Type **Your name**, add a photo if you like, and click
   **Continue**. Your teammates see both on invites, comments and meetings.
2. **Join a workspace**, if someone has already invited you. Click **Join** next to it. To start
   your own instead, click **Create my own workspace**.
3. **Create a workspace.** Type a **Workspace name** — your team or company is the usual
   choice — and click **Create workspace**. When **{workspace} is ready** appears, click
   **Set up my workspace**.
4. **Invite your team**, if it's your workspace. Send invitations by email, copy an
   **Invite link**, or upload a list with **Import CSV**. **I'll do this later** skips the step.
5. **Add your AI keys**, if your workspace runs on its own keys. **Skip for now** leaves it for
   later — see [How your AI is powered](https://docs.jinn.so/workspace/ai-and-indexing.md).

The last screen, **Welcome to Jinn**, points at the two things to do first: record a meeting or
create a project. Click **Got it**.

## Sign in again

The same screen, and what it asks for depends on what the account has:

* **With a password** — the screen greets you with **Welcome back** and asks for it.
  **Show password** beside the field lets you check what you typed, and **Hide password** masks
  it again.
* **Without one, or when you'd rather not type it** — **Email a sign-in link** under
  **Trouble signing in?** sends the code instead. On the password screen the same escape hatch
  reads **sign in with password** in reverse: both routes reach the same account.

An email address is one account. Whichever way you get in, you land in the same workspaces.

## Reset a forgotten password

Get in with a code first: on **Welcome back**, click **Email a sign-in link** under **Trouble
signing in?**. Then click your avatar in the left sidebar, **Settings**, and under **Password**
click **Change password**, then **Send reset link**. Open the link in the email, set a new
password, and sign in with it next time.

You can change the address itself later from your account settings — Jinn sends a verification
link to the new one, and the change takes effect when you open it.

## When a sign-in link doesn't work

Opening the link from the sign-in email shows **Signing you in** while Jinn checks it. If the
check fails, the page says why. A link works once, for 30 minutes, and only in the browser you
asked for it from.

| What you see | What to do |
| - | - |
| **This link has expired** | The link was older than 30 minutes or already used. Click **Send a new link** |
| **Open this link where you asked for it** | Open the email in the browser you signed in from, or click **Send a new link** to get one that works here |
| **This link is incomplete** | Part of the link was lost, often by copying it. Click **Back to sign-in** and ask for a new one |
| **Couldn’t sign you in** | Click **Send a new link** |

After **Send a new link**, the page reads **Check your email** and the new link goes to the
same address. **Back to sign-in** opens the sign-in screen with your address already filled in.
If you ask for links too often, Jinn says *Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again.*

## Stay signed in, or sign out

Jinn keeps you signed in between sessions. Signing out is deliberate, from your account menu,
and Jinn asks first: **Workspaces in this account will be removed from this device. They'll
come back when you sign in again.** Nothing is deleted — the local copy goes, the server copy
stays.

## Open the desktop app

Signing in happens in the browser, and Jinn hands you over to the desktop app afterwards:
**Opening the Jinn app…**, with **Open Jinn** if it doesn't come to the front by itself and
**Continue with browser** if you'd rather stay where you are. **Download app** is on the same
screen when the app isn't installed yet, and the same build is at
[app.jinn.so/download](https://app.jinn.so/download).
