Signing in
A short video overview covering the signup process.
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. And the password is your shortcut for accessing your Akord wallet, decrypting your encryption keys your device.
Next, you're given a 12-word backup phrase. This is extremely important. If you lose your password, you'll need this backup phrase to recover access to your account.
Make you store this using the security best practices.
To ensure you did indeed store this backup phrase and didn't just skip through the last step without realising its importance, we ask you to verify your backup phrase by entering two of the 12 words.
The final step is to 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 login for the first time to complete the process.
