# Sign up, sign in, and verify your email

Sign in to IdeaMade with an email address and password to create apps or continue existing projects. The public Blueprint experience does not require sign-in. Taking a Blueprint into Builder to generate an app does.

## Create an account

Select **Start building** on the website. If you are signed out, the sign-in page opens. To register, select **Create account**, enter your email and password, confirm the password, read and agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then submit the form. Existing account holders can **Sign in** directly.

Use an email address that can receive messages and follow the password guidance on the form. If email verification is requested, open the confirmation email and follow its link before continuing.

## Sign in and continue

Select **Sign in** and enter the email and password you registered with.

After signing in, select **Start building** to open an existing project or choose **New Project**. If you signed in from a project link or Blueprint, you will continue where you left off. See [Create your first app](https://ideamade.ai/help/create-first-app) for the next steps.

## If you need help

If the confirmation email does not arrive, check the address and spam folder, then follow the resend instructions. If sign-in fails, check your email, password, and the message on screen. [Contact support](mailto:hello@ideamade.ai) if you still cannot continue.
