# Sign in to Mindflow import { Steps } from "@astrojs/starlight/components" Sign in to Mindflow with your workspace URL, create an account when self-registration is enabled, and finish first-time setup in Studio. You can update your profile from the sidebar anytime. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra sign-in step—see the MFA section on this page. ## When to use - You are new to Mindflow and need to create an account or sign in for the first time. - You need to finish first-time onboarding or update your profile picture and name. - Prefer [Single sign-on (SSO)](/guides/govern/administrating-the-platform/single-sign-on-sso/) when your organization uses an identity provider instead of email and password. Before you begin, get your workspace URL from your Mindflow administrator (for example `https://your-tenant.mindflow.io`). ## Guide ### Sign in with email and password Use the authenticate page when you already have an account. Enter the email and password your administrator or registration flow gave you. 1. **Open your workspace URL.** Replace `your-tenant` with your hostname (for example `https://acme.mindflow.io`). 2. **Enter your credentials.** Type your **Email** and **Password**. 3. **Sign in.** Click **Sign In**. If your organization enabled SSO, use **Sign in with** your provider instead.

Forgot your password? See [Update your password](/guides/govern/manage-access/update-your-password/). ### Create an account When self-registration is enabled on your tenant, open your workspace URL and register with **Sign Up**. You enter your name, email, and password, then confirm the verification code Mindflow emails you. If your organization uses SSO instead, follow [Single sign-on (SSO)](/guides/govern/administrating-the-platform/single-sign-on-sso/) and skip email registration. Some tenants close email **Sign Up** on purpose (often when SSO is the main way to join). On those tenants the sign-in page shows **Sign In** and **Sign in with** your provider only—no **Sign Up** link. Ask your administrator to create your account, or use SSO the first time. Existing email and password sign-in still works when your organization kept it enabled. 1. **Open your workspace URL.** Replace `your-tenant` with your hostname (for example `https://acme.mindflow.io`). Studio opens the authenticate page. 2. **Open Sign Up.** On the sign-in form, choose **Sign Up** at the bottom of the card. If your tenant hides **Sign Up**, use **Sign in with** your provider or ask an administrator for an account. If your tenant exposes SSO on this page, you can use **Sign in with** your provider instead of email registration.

3. **Fill in the form.** Enter **Full name**, **Email**, **Password**, and **Confirm your password**, then click **Sign Up**.

4. **Confirm your email.** Mindflow emails a verification code. Enter it in **Verification code**, then click **Confirm**. If the code does not arrive, choose **Resend code**. After confirmation, Studio signs you in.

### Complete first-time onboarding On your first login after registration, Mindflow may show an onboarding screen while it prepares your first environment and sample flows. When setup finishes, choose **Open my flows!** to open the **Flows** home. 1. **Review the welcome screen.** Mindflow greets you by name and shows capability cards while your first environment and sample flows are prepared. 2. **Open Flows.** When the status shows **All done !**, click **Open my flows!**.

:::note Onboarding appears only when your organization enables it and you are allowed to create environments. If you land on **Flows** immediately, your administrator may have skipped onboarding for your tenant. ::: ### Update your profile Open **My profile** from your avatar in the Studio sidebar to change your profile picture or full name. Email is shown for reference; password users can change their password from the same page. 1. **Open My profile.** Click your avatar in the sidebar, then choose **My profile**. 2. **Edit your details.** Upload a profile picture (`.jpg` or `.png`, under 400 KB) or edit **Full name**.

To change your password later, see [Update your password](/guides/govern/manage-access/update-your-password/). ## Enable multi-factor authentication Set up MFA to protect your account. 1. **Open My profile.** Click your account in the bottom-left corner of Studio, then choose **My profile**.
