Creating Your Account

PodStack uses passwordless authentication. There’s no separate sign-up form and no password to remember — your first sign-in creates your account automatically. You can sign in with a one-time email code or with a social login.

What you’ll accomplish

Sign in to PodStack for the first time and land on your dashboard.

Prerequisites

  • A valid, permanent email address. Disposable/temporary email addresses are rejected.
  • A modern web browser.

Sign in with an email code (primary method)

  1. Open the PodStack portal and go to the sign-in page.
  2. Enter your email address and choose Continue with Email.
  3. Check your inbox for a 6-digit code. The code expires in 10 minutes and can be used once.
  4. Enter the 6 digits and choose Verify & Sign In.

Your account is created on first verification, and your session stays valid for 7 days on that device.

Sign in with a social account

If enabled for your workspace, you can skip the email code entirely:

  • Continue with Google
  • Continue with GitHub
  • Continue with Microsoft

These are one-click and land you on the same dashboard. (Which providers appear depends on how your PodStack instance is configured.)

Choosing your currency

Your preferred billing currency (INR or USD) is set later in Settings → Profile, not during sign-in. See Settings.

Verify it worked

  • You’re redirected to the dashboard.
  • Your email appears in the profile menu (top-right).

Sign out

Use Log out in the profile menu. This ends the session immediately on that device. You can also review and revoke sessions from Settings → Security.
