# Create your account and sign in

Sign up with your name, email and a password, then press the link we email you. You start in Test mode straight away, so you can try everything before anyone pays you.

## Create your account

1. Open the [sign-up page](https://dashboard.secureprocessing.app/signup).
2. Enter **Your name**, **Email** and a **Password**, and create your account.
3. Open the confirmation email and press its link. The link works once.
4. Under **Create your business**, enter the name your customers call you.

That creates your business in Test mode. You do not need to give us any documents yet.

## Sign in next time

Open the dashboard and enter your email and password. Once you have added a passkey, you can press **Sign in with a passkey** instead.

## If the email does not come

Check your spam folder. For your privacy, the page says the same thing whether or not an address can be used, so check that you typed it correctly too.

## What to do first

- [Take a test payment](https://docs.secureprocessing.app/help/getting-started/take-a-test-payment.md), to see how it works.
- [Turn on two-step verification](https://docs.secureprocessing.app/help/security/turn-on-two-step-verification.md), to protect your account.
- [Activate your account](https://docs.secureprocessing.app/help/getting-started/activate-your-account.md) when you are ready to take real money.
