# Account Setup: Create and Configure Your Chevre Account

> Sign up for Chevre, verify your email, complete your profile, and create or join a workspace so your team can start collaborating right away.

Before you can build workflows or invite teammates, you need a Chevre account and a workspace. This page walks you through signing up, verifying your email, completing your profile, and getting into your first workspace — whether you're starting fresh or joining an existing team.

## Signing Up

Navigate to [app.chevre.io/signup](https://app.chevre.io/signup). Chevre offers three ways to create an account:

* **Email and password** — enter your work email address and choose a strong password, then click **Create account**.
* **Google OAuth** — click **Continue with Google** and select the Google account you want to use. No password required.
* **SSO (Single Sign-On)** — click **Sign in with SSO**, enter your organization's domain, and authenticate through your company's identity provider.

<Note>
  SSO is available on the **Business** and **Enterprise** plans. If your organization uses SSO, ask your Chevre admin for your domain before signing up.
</Note>

## Verifying Your Email

If you signed up with an email and password, Chevre sends a verification email to the address you provided. Open the email from `no-reply@chevre.io` and click **Verify my email** to activate your account.

You have **24 hours** to verify before the link expires. If it expires or you don't receive the email:

1. Log in at [app.chevre.io/login](https://app.chevre.io/login).
2. Chevre detects the unverified account and shows a banner — click **Resend verification email**.
3. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for the new link.

<Note>
  Accounts created via Google OAuth or SSO are verified automatically — no email confirmation step required.
</Note>

## Setting Up Your Profile

After verifying your account, complete your profile so teammates can recognize you:

1. Click your avatar in the bottom-left corner of the dashboard.
2. Select **Profile Settings**.
3. Fill in your **Full Name** and optionally upload a **Profile Photo** (PNG or JPG, max 2 MB).
4. Set your **Timezone** — Chevre uses this to display timestamps and schedule workflow triggers in your local time.
5. Click **Save Changes**.

## Creating or Joining a Workspace

A workspace is the shared environment where your team's projects and workflows live. After signing up, you'll either create a new workspace or join one you've been invited to.

**To create a new workspace:**

1. On the post-signup screen (or from **Settings → Workspaces → New Workspace**), enter a **Workspace Name**.
2. Optionally enter teammate email addresses to send invites immediately.
3. Click **Create Workspace**.

**To join an existing workspace:**

If a teammate has already invited you, you'll receive an email with a **Join Workspace** button. Click it to accept the invitation and land directly inside the shared workspace.

<Note>
  Workspace invites arrive from `invites@chevre.io`. If you're expecting an invite, ask your admin to resend it and check your spam folder if it doesn't appear within a few minutes.
</Note>

## Resetting Your Password

If you signed up with email and password and need to reset your credentials, follow these steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the Login Page">
    Navigate to [app.chevre.io/login](https://app.chevre.io/login) and click **Forgot your password?** below the password field.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Your Email Address">
    Type the email address associated with your Chevre account and click **Send Reset Link**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Reset Email">
    Check your inbox for an email from `no-reply@chevre.io` with the subject **Reset your Chevre password**. The link is valid for **1 hour**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a New Password">
    Click the link in the email, enter a new password (minimum 12 characters), confirm it, and click **Update Password**. You'll be logged in automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Password reset links expire after 1 hour and can only be used once. If your link has expired, repeat the process from the login page to request a new one.
</Warning>

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I use Google to sign in?">
    Yes. Chevre supports Google OAuth on all plans. Click **Continue with Google** on the sign-up or login page and select your Google account. If you previously signed up with email and password using the same address, Google OAuth will link to the same account automatically.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I reset my password?">
    Go to [app.chevre.io/login](https://app.chevre.io/login) and click **Forgot your password?**. Enter your email address and Chevre will send you a reset link valid for 1 hour. Follow the steps in the [Resetting Your Password](#resetting-your-password) section above for full details.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I change my email address?">
    Yes. Go to **Settings → Profile → Account Email** and enter your new email address. Chevre sends a confirmation link to the new address — click it to verify the change. Your old email remains active until the new one is confirmed, so you won't lose access during the process.
