title: Creating your account
description: There is no password and no separate sign-up on Insy. Your account is created the first time you log in — by email link, Google, or Telegram.
---

Insy has **no password** and **no separate sign-up step**. You log in, and if you've never logged
in before, the account is created on the spot from the details the login gives us.

## The three ways to log in

**Email link**

Enter your email address. Insy sends a one-time link — tap it and you're in. No password to
choose or remember. The same link works every time; the first time simply creates the account.

**Google**

Sign in with your Google account. Because Google confirms your email, Insy treats it as verified
from the start.

**Telegram**

Log in through Telegram. This links your Telegram account so you can be added to gated groups.
If you share your phone number during login, Insy treats it as **already verified** — Telegram
has confirmed it, so there's no SMS code.

> **One account, whichever door you use**
>
> Your account is tied to your identity, not to a login method. Logging in with the same email — or
> linking the same Telegram — reaches the same account rather than making a second one.

## What "no sign-up" means in practice

- You never create a password, so there's nothing to reset or leak.
- No registration form, no email-confirmation step, no "activate your account" wait.
- The first login **is** the sign-up. Whatever the login hands over — your email, your Google name,
  your Telegram username — becomes your account's starting details, editable later on your
  [profile](/getting-started/profile).

## Phone numbers and verification

You don't need a phone number to have an account. Where one comes in:

- **Logging in with Telegram and sharing your number** marks it verified immediately — Telegram has
  already checked it, so Insy sends no code of its own.
- Adding or changing a number some other way can require a verification step.

> **Extra security screens exist, but aren't part of normal login**
>
> Insy has building blocks for SMS phone-verification and two-factor authentication (an
> authenticator-app code), but these are **not** part of the everyday login — a normal login is just
> the email link, Google, or Telegram above. If you never see a code prompt, nothing is wrong.

## Once you're in

You land in the Insy app as a normal account. There's no seller application — creating your first
community or digital product is what turns you into a seller. Before that, make your public profile
presentable.
