Updated over a week ago

To start using the platform, each user should register first. One email and password are used to access all the projects you own or participate in as an invited user.

To register with iDeals, follow the link from an invitation email.

1. Create account

💡 You can review and update your details at any time in Personal info.


2. Create password

Make sure you meet all requirements to create a strong password:

  • 8 symbols minimum

  • 1 uppercase letter (A to Z)

  • 1 lowercase letter (a to z)

  • 1 digit (0 to 9) or special character ~`!@#$%^&*()_+-={}[]|:";'<>?,./

💡 You can change your password at any time in the Security settings of your account.


3. Enable 2-step verification

Optionally, strengthen the security of your account with the most convenient verification method.

Authenticator app

Set up verification with the authenticator application in 3 quick steps:

  • Download and install the authenticator app if you don't have it yet.

  • Open the app and scan the QR code from the screen.

  • Enter a one-time code generated by your authenticator app.

💡 Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy are the most commonly used apps, but you can use any other at your preference.

Code by SMS

Another verification option is via a one-time SMS code sent to your phone.

  • Enter your mobile phone number.

  • Confirm your phone number by entering a 6-digit code from SMS.

💡 You can set up or change the verification methods at any time in the Security settings of your account.


Recovery codes

If you enable 2-step verification, the last step will be to save your recovery codes.

They can be used as an alternative verification method if you're unable to verify your identity with the previously set-up methods.

💡 You can view and generate new codes in the Security settings of your account.
