# Creating Your Account & First Login

This guide covers how to create a Tugger account and log in for the first time. There are two ways to sign up, depending on how you found Tugger.

## Option A: Standard sign up

This is the most common route and works for all users.

1. Go to [tuggerapp.com/SignUp](https://tuggerapp.com/SignUp)
2. Fill in your details (name, email, password)
3. Agree to the terms and conditions, then click **Submit**

1. You'll receive a verification email. Click the link in the email to verify your address.

1. Once verified, log in at [tuggerapp.com](https://tuggerapp.com) with the email and password you just created.

You'll land on the Add Connector screen, ready to connect your first app. See [Setting Up Your First Connector](/setting-up-your-first-connector-quick-start) or jump straight to the guide for your specific app (e.g. [Xero](/docs/xero-connector-setup-guide), [HubSpot](/docs/hubspot-connector-setup-guide), [Simpro](/docs/simpro-connector-setup-guide)).

## Option B: Sign up via Xero (SSO)

If you came to Tugger through the Xero App Store, you can sign up using your Xero login instead of creating a separate password.

1. On the Tugger login page, click **Sign In with Xero**

1. You'll be redirected to Xero's login page. Sign in with your usual Xero email and password.

1. If you have two-factor authentication enabled in Xero, complete that step as normal.
2. Xero will ask you to allow Tugger access. Review the details and click **Allow Access**.

1. You'll be redirected back to Tugger to complete your registration. Fill in any remaining details, then click **Submit**.

You'll land on the Add Connector screen, ready to set up your first connector.

> **Note:** If you don't have an existing Xero account, the Sign In with Xero option won't work. Use the standard sign-up process instead.

## Logging in

After your account is created, you can log in at any time:

1. Go to [tuggerapp.com](https://tuggerapp.com)
2. Enter your email and password, or click **Sign In with Xero** if you signed up using Xero SSO
