Sign up and sign in
Create an account, verify your email, sign in, and recover a forgotten password.
FlashBoards accounts use an email address and a password; there's no social sign-in.
Create an account
Open the sign-up page
Go to /signup, or click Create one under the sign-in form.
Fill in the form
Enter Name, Email address, Password and Confirm Password. Passwords need at least 8 characters and no spaces.
Accept the terms
Tick I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Create the account
Click Create Account. You'll see Check Your Email.
NoteRegistration can be closed
If public sign-up is closed, /signup takes you to the sign-in page and Create one is hidden. A referral link doesn't reopen it.
Verify your email
Click the link in the verification email. It signs you in and opens the FlashBoards home page; click Panel to reach your board. The link expires after 1 hour, and unverified accounts may be removed after 14 days.
If the link expired, or you sign in before verifying, enter your email on the sign-in page and click Resend verification email. Only one email is sent per hour, so if you see "Verification email already sent", check your spam folder or wait.
Sign in
Go to /login, enter Email address and Password, and click Sign In. You stay signed in for 14 days, renewed each day you use FlashBoards. Your browser must allow cookies.
If you opened a board or Settings link while signed out, you return to it after signing in.
