# Authentication

> Sign up, sign in, and password recovery.

## Creating an account

Go to [app.book2befit.com/signup](https://app.book2befit.com/signup) and fill in your email address, password, and password confirmation, then click **Create account**.

After submitting you will see a "Check your inbox" screen. Open the confirmation email and click the link inside — this takes you to a confirmation page where you click **Confirm my email** to activate your account. You are then sent to the onboarding wizard to set up your organization.

<Note>
  Nothing in your inbox? Check your spam folder. If you try to sign up with an email that already has an account, you will be prompted to sign in instead.
</Note>

## Signing in

Go to [app.book2befit.com/login](https://app.book2befit.com/login) and enter your email and password.

Where you land after signing in depends on your role and account state:

| Situation                                            | Where you land            |
| ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Owner or admin with an organization                  | Dashboard                 |
| Coach                                                | My Schedule               |
| Account exists but no organization yet               | Onboarding wizard         |
| Account exists but no staff role in any organization | Error on the sign-in page |

<Note>
  The staff dashboard is only accessible to owners, admins, and coaches. If your account has no staff role (for example, you signed up as a client via a public booking page), you will see an error on sign-in rather than being redirected.
</Note>

## Forgot password

1. On the sign-in page, click **Forgot password?** (below the password field).
2. Enter your email address and click **Send reset link**.
3. You will see a "Check your inbox" confirmation. Open the reset email and click the link inside.
4. On the confirmation page, click **Confirm my email**.
5. You are taken to the **Set a new password** page. Enter your new password (minimum 8 characters) and confirm it, then click **Update password**.
6. You are automatically redirected to the dashboard.

<Note>
  Reset links expire after a short period. If yours has expired, go back to the sign-in page and request a new one.
</Note>

## Team member sign-in

Coaches and admins sign in at the same URL as owners: [app.book2befit.com/login](https://app.book2befit.com/login). They are never taken through the onboarding wizard. They land directly on the view for their role — coaches land on **My Schedule**, admins on **Dashboard**.

A team member must accept their invitation before they can sign in to your organization. See [Team & Roles](/core-features/team) for the full invite flow.
