# Create an Account

> Sign up for LaunchSafe, set up your security testing profile, and start running autonomous AI penetration tests on your apps in minutes.

LaunchSafe accounts are managed through [WorkOS AuthKit](https://workos.com/docs/user-management), providing enterprise-grade authentication with support for SSO, SAML, and directory sync.

## Sign up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to LaunchSafe">
    Go to [app.launchsafe.com](https://app.launchsafe.com). You'll be presented with the sign-in page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your authentication method">
    LaunchSafe supports three sign-up methods:

    * **Email & password** — create an account with your work email address. You'll receive a verification email to confirm ownership.
    * **Google SSO** — sign in with your Google Workspace or personal Google account. Email verification is automatic.
    * **GitHub SSO** — sign in with your GitHub account. Useful if you plan to connect GitHub repositories for scanning.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your email">
    If you signed up with email and password, check your inbox for a verification link. Click it to activate your account. The link expires after 24 hours.

    <Info>
      If you don't receive the verification email, check your spam folder. LaunchSafe sends emails from `noreply@launchsafe.com` — add this address to your contacts to prevent future emails from being filtered.
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete your profile">
    After verification, you'll be guided through the onboarding flow to set up your first workspace.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Account security

Your LaunchSafe account is protected by several security measures:

| Feature                   | Detail                                                                                                            |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Password requirements** | Minimum 8 characters. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt before storage.                                            |
| **Session management**    | Sessions expire after 30 days of inactivity. Active sessions can be revoked from Settings.                        |
| **SSO enforcement**       | Enterprise customers can enforce SSO-only authentication for their organization, disabling password-based login.  |
| **Audit logging**         | All account actions (login, logout, settings changes, scan launches) are logged with timestamps and IP addresses. |

## Enterprise SSO

For organizations on enterprise plans, LaunchSafe supports:

* **SAML 2.0** — connect with Okta, Azure AD, OneLogin, or any SAML-compliant identity provider
* **Directory sync (SCIM)** — automatically provision and deprovision users based on your identity provider's directory
* **Just-in-time provisioning** — new users are automatically created when they first sign in via SSO

Contact [sales@launchsafe.com](mailto:sales@launchsafe.com) to configure enterprise SSO for your organization.

## Multiple accounts

Each email address can only be associated with one LaunchSafe account. If you need to manage multiple organizations, use the **workspace switching** feature in the sidebar rather than creating separate accounts.

## Account recovery

If you lose access to your account:

* **Forgot password** — click "Forgot password" on the sign-in page. A reset link will be sent to your email.
* **Lost access to email** — contact [support@launchsafe.com](mailto:support@launchsafe.com) with proof of identity to recover your account.
* **SSO issues** — contact your organization's IT administrator to verify your identity provider configuration.
