Create an account and sign in

Sign up, confirm your email, sign in, and recover a forgotten password.

What it is for

Protegon accounts use email and password. You create an account once, confirm your email with a verification code, then sign in to access scans and account pages.

When to use it

  • You are opening the app for the first time.
  • You need to reset a forgotten password.

How to do it

  1. Step 1Open the app

    Go to New scan (/app/scan). If you are signed out, the sign-in panel is shown.

  2. Step 2Create an account

    Click Create account, enter your email and password, then click Sign up. Passwords must meet the policy shown in the form (at least 20 characters in the product UI).

  3. Step 3Confirm your email

    Open Confirm your email, enter the verification code from your inbox, then click Confirm. Use Resend code if needed.

  4. Step 4Sign in

    Return to Sign in, enter your email and password, then continue. You land on the Scans experience.

  5. Step 5Forgot password (optional)

    Click Forgot password?, enter your email, click Send code, then on Choose a new password enter the code and your new password and click Update password.

Example

You receive a code after Sign up, confirm once, then sign in on every later visit with the same email and password.

Good to know

  • There is no in-app account deletion flow.
  • If an additional sign-in challenge is required, the app may show an error instead of a full challenge screen.

Common problems

  • I did not receive the verification code.

    Check spam, wait a minute, then use Resend code. See Email code not received.

  • Sign-in fails after signup.

    Confirm that email confirmation succeeded (Confirm), then try Sign in again with the same password.
