Account Creation
New users can access the onboarding process by clicking Sign Up in the upper right corner of the main Autheo site.
This will bring you to the initial Sign Up window, where you can choose one of three registration options:
-
Manual Sign Up: Create an account manually through the Autheo form.
-
Sign Up with Google: Sign up for Autheo by associating your Google account.
-
Sign Up with Wallet: Create a new account based on an existing wallet.
Manual Sign Up
When singing up manually, you will need to enter your Full Name, your desired Username, an Email address where Autheo can send account notifications and a strong Password.
We recommend using a password that is at least 12 characters long, comprised of letters, numbers and special characters.
After entering this information, click Sign Up to bring up the Verification Code window. You should receive your verification code in the email address used for registration. If you cannot find the email and have checked your email's Spam folder, there is an option to Resend the code.
Verifying your account will bring you to the next screen, where we will begin building your home feed. After filling in how you Identify, you will be brought to the Select Niche and Topics window.
Here, you can choose a Niche you are interested in. The dropdown menu allows you to choose a specific niche, or show all available topics. You may choose multiple topics within a single niche. If you want to add an additional niche, click the plus sign to the right of your existing niche to bring up another Select Niche instance. Once you are satisfied with your selections, click Next.
The Create Community window gives you the opportunity to create your own community on Autheo. You can find more information on creating a community here. If you do not want to create a community, click Skip to move to the next window.
The final page allows you to link various social media accounts to your Autheo account. Autheo natively supports linking Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X and Youtube. You can divide these socials by sector if you are involved in more than one niche. Sectors can be added by clicking the green plus sign to the right of your existing Select Sector instance.
After inputting your social media links, click Next to complete account creation.
Sign Up with Google
Clicking on *Sign Up with Google will open a window where you can choose to Create a new wallet or Import an existing wallet. Clicking Create a new wallet will open a window where you can choose to either Use a Recovery Phrase or Sign-up with Google

We suggest writing your private key down and physically storing it in a safe space. It is not safe if stored digitally.
