# Set up your DevUps account

> Create your account, complete your profile, reset your password if needed, and join or create teams to start learning with colleagues.

Before you start building learning paths, take a few minutes to set up your account. This page covers signing up, completing your profile, resetting your password, and joining a team.

## Sign up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the sign-up page">
    Open [devups.app/auth?tab=signup](https://devups.app/auth?tab=signup). You'll see a form with fields for your name, email, and password.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your details">
    Fill in your first name, last name, email address, and a password. Passwords must be at least six characters long. Confirm your password in the second field, then click **Create Account**.

    Alternatively, click **Continue with Google** to sign up with your Google account — no password required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your email (if prompted)">
    Check your inbox for a verification email from DevUps and click the confirmation link. After verification, you'll be redirected to your dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  DevUps automatically creates a personal workspace for you the moment you sign up. This workspace is your private default team and is always available, even if you haven't joined any other teams yet.
</Note>

## Personal workspace vs. team workspaces

When you first sign in, your **current team** is set to your personal workspace. This workspace is yours alone — paths you create here are private by default and not visible to anyone else unless you explicitly change their visibility.

You can create additional teams (for example, for your company or a specific project) or join teams you've been invited to. Each team has its own shared **Team Paths** tab in the dashboard. Switch between teams using the team switcher in the sidebar.

## Complete your profile

After signing up, add your name and avatar so teammates can recognize you.

1. Go to [devups.app/settings/profile](https://devups.app/settings/profile).
2. Enter your **name** and **username**. Your username is how you appear in team activity.
3. Upload an **avatar** by clicking the profile picture area and selecting an image file.
4. Click **Save** to apply your changes.

## Reset your password

If you forget your password, you can request a reset link from the sign-in page.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the sign-in page">
    Go to [devups.app/auth](https://devups.app/auth) and click **Forgot password?** below the password field.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your email">
    Type the email address associated with your account and click **Send Reset Link**. You'll receive an email with a link to reset your password.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a new password">
    Click the link in the email. You'll be taken to [devups.app/reset-password](https://devups.app/reset-password), where you can enter and confirm your new password. Click **Update Password** to save it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Reset links expire after a short time. If your link has expired, return to the sign-in page and request a new one.
</Note>

## Accept a team invitation

If a colleague invites you to their team, you'll receive an invitation by email.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the invitation email">
    Click the **Accept Invitation** link in the email. If you're already signed in, you'll be taken directly to the invitations page. If not, you'll be asked to sign in or create an account first.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accept from the invitations page">
    You can also view and accept pending invitations at [devups.app/invitations](https://devups.app/invitations). Any pending invites appear there as well as in a banner at the top of your dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once you accept, the team is added to your account and you can switch to it from the team switcher in the sidebar. Team paths shared by members of that team will appear in your **Team Paths** tab.
