# Creating your account

Every Connector Central account starts on Free. There is no trial, payment card, subscription, or billing-expiry step.

## Create your account

1. Open the [sign-up page](/sign_up).
2. Enter your first and last name, email address, and password.
3. Select **Create account**.

Registration is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which blocks automated submissions without presenting most people with a puzzle. Once registration succeeds, you are signed in and taken to your new workspace.

## What you get

When you sign up, a few things are set up automatically:

- **A Free workspace is created** with no time limit and no payment details
- **You're set as the owner** of that workspace, which gives you full control over settings, team management, connectors, and direct user access
- **Welcome and email-verification messages** are sent to your inbox

## Signing in later

To sign back in, visit the [sign-in page](/sign_in) and enter the email and password you used during sign-up. If you've enabled [two-factor authentication](/docs/account-and-billing/two-factor-authentication), you'll also be asked for a code from your authenticator app.

## Resetting your password

If you've forgotten your password, click **Forgot password?** on the sign-in page and enter your email address. You'll receive an email with a link to set a new one. The link is single-use and expires, so request a fresh one if it stops working.

## Multiple workspaces

Your account can belong to multiple workspaces. For example, you might own your company's workspace and be invited to a partner's workspace as a user. You can switch between workspaces at any time from the switcher at the top of the sidebar.

## Next steps

Now that you have an account, let's [set up your workspace](/docs/getting-started/setting-up-your-first-workspace).
