# Create your account

> Sign up for a free Stratta account and get your personal workspace.

A Stratta account is free and takes a minute. Signing up also creates your **personal
workspace** — the private space where your norms and API keys live.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the sign-up page">
    Go to [stratta.ch/sign-up](https://stratta.ch/sign-up).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a sign-in method">
    * **Email and password** — the default. You'll receive a verification email.
    * **Google** — one click, if your Stratta deployment has Google sign-in enabled.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your email">
    Open the email from Stratta and click the verification link. This confirms your address
    and activates your account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You're in">
    You land in your dashboard with a personal workspace already created. Next, generate an
    [API key](/en/guides/get-api-key).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Stratta uses email/password with email verification, plus optional Google sign-in. There is no
  forced two-factor or step-up authentication today.
</Note>

## Your workspace

Every account starts with one personal workspace (an **organization**, in Stratta terms). It
holds:

* The **norms** you ingest.
* Your **API keys**.
* Any **teammates** you invite.

You can rename it, invite colleagues, or accept an invitation to join someone else's workspace.
See [Manage your organization](/en/guides/manage-organization).
