# How do I create a Pickcel account?

> Sign up for Pickcel in minutes, create your account with email or Google/Microsoft, verify with a 6-digit code, and start your free trial.

<Note>
  Signing up starts a **free trial**, no credit card required.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Pickcel sign-up page">
    Go to [console.pickcel.com/register](https://console.pickcel.com/register). You can register with your **email**, or use **Continue with Google** or **Continue with Microsoft** for one-click sign-up.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your details">
    Fill in your **Name**, **business email address**, and a **secure password**. Tick the box to agree to the [**T\&C**](https://www.pickcel.com/terms) and [**Privacy Policy**](https://www.pickcel.com/privacy), then click **Sign Up**.

    <Tip>
      Prefer single sign-on? Click **Continue with Google** or **Continue with Microsoft** instead; you'll skip the password step and go straight to verification.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get your verification code">
    Pickcel sends a **6-digit verification code** to the email address you signed up with. Open the email titled **"Pickcel – Verify Account"** to find your code.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your email">
    Back on the **Verify Your Email** screen, enter the 6-digit code and click **Verify & Start Trial**. If the code doesn't arrive, use **Resend code**.
