Ways to get an account
| Route | What happens |
|---|---|
| Sign up with email | Fill in the Create your account form, confirm your email, and choose a password. |
| Continue with Google | On the sign-in page, sign in with your Google account. If you don't have a Forgebench account yet, one is created on your first sign-in. |
| An invite | An admin invites you to an existing workspace. See Members and roles. |
Sign up with email
Open the signup page
On the sign-in page, click Create a workspace. Enter Your name and Work email.
Create or join a team (personal email only)
Skip this with a work email; it's matched to your company by domain. With a personal address (Gmail, Outlook and so on), choose Create a new team and enter a Team name, or choose Join an existing team and paste the join code a teammate gave you.
Click Create account
You see Check your email, whether or not the address can sign up.
Open the link in the email
The link works once and expires. On the page it opens, choose a password and click Create account & sign in. If the address already has an account, enter that account's password instead.
When your company or team already uses Forgebench
One email domain maps to one organization. If your company already has one, your signup goes to its admins and you see Waiting for approval. You get an email when they decide. Depending on the workspace's settings, you may be added straight away.
A join code works the same way: an admin of that team approves you.
See Access requests for the admin side, and Workspaces for choosing between workspaces.

Your first sign-in to a new organization runs a short setup:

Your trial
An organization created from the signup form starts on Free with a 14-day trial.
