Create your account

Creating a Laya account takes a minute, and you can join with an account you already have. Sign-up lives on the Create your Laya account page — or follow the Create an account link from the sign-in page.

Ways to sign up

The sign-up page offers three tiers of options:

• Join your team's workspace — sign up with Atlassian or Azure DevOps. Best if your team's work already lives in Jira or Azure DevOps.
• Or sign up with — Google, Microsoft or Slack.
• Or with email — enter your Full name, Email and Password, then choose Create account.

Signing in later

You can always sign back in the same way you signed up. Email accounts also have a passwordless option: on the sign-in page choose Email me a magic link instead, then open the link from the Check your inbox confirmation. Magic links are single-use and expire after 10 minutes.

There is no separate password-reset form. If you forget your password, the Forgot password? link sends you a magic link — sign in with it, then set a new password from your Security page (see Sessions and account security). Accounts created with a social provider or magic link can add a password there at any time with Set password.

What happens after sign-up

1. A personal workspace is created for youEvery new account automatically gets a private Personal workspace named after you (for example "Alex's Workspace"), so there is no set-up wizard to complete.
2. Laya finishes setting upYou will briefly see a "Setting up your workspace…" screen while Laya prepares your account.
3. You land on board creationLaya drops you straight into creating your first board. See Create your first board.

If your account was created by a social sign-in, Laya also sends a welcome email confirming the account exists and listing every way back in — the provider button, an emailed link, or setting a password in your settings. When you create an account you agree to Laya's Terms and Privacy Policy, and Laya records the version you accepted.
