Signing up
Step 1. Email and password
Like web2 services, we ask for an email and password. But we use them in different ways.
We use the email address to communicate with you when important things happen in Akord. Additionally, your password serves as a shortcut for accessing your Akord wallet and decrypting your encryption keys on your device.
⚠️ We do not store your password on our servers and we cannot reset your password if you forget it.
Step 2. Terms and Conditions
After inputting your email and password, you have to agree to our terms of service and privacy policy.
Additionally, you also have to give up your withdrawal right.
Step 3. Store your recovery phrase
Next, you're given a 12-word recovery phrase. This is extremely important. If you lose your password, you'll need this recovery phrase to recover access to your account.
Make sure you store this using security best practices.
After doing so, proceed to the next step by clicking Setup account.
Step 4. Verify your email
After you click 'Setup account', you must verify your email address. We send you a link to the email address you entered in Step 1. Click the link in the email and that's it, your account is verified.
Incase you have not received an email, you can click resend email to receive another verification link
Step 5. Make your first upload to Arweave
Now that your account is set up, you can make your first upload.
