Account setup

Sign in, find your way around the organization switcher, and update your profile basics. Two minutes.

How you get an account

Most people join Recognito through an invite from their team's admin. The admin adds you to their organization in Settings, and you receive an email with a sign-up link. Open it, set a password (or link a Google or Microsoft account), and you're in.

You can also self-sign up from the login page — click Sign up at the top of the form.

Sign in

Open app.recognito.io. You land on the sign-in screen.

Enter your email and password, then click Sign in. If your team uses Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, use the Sign in with Google or Sign in with Microsoft buttons instead — same login your colleagues use, nothing extra to remember.

After you sign in, you land on the Dashboard for your default organization. The Dashboard lists every project you have access to in that org.

Your admin can restrict which providers you can use (Settings → Users → Allowed Login Methods on their side). If one is greyed out, that's why.

Switch between organizations

If you belong to more than one organization — your own employer plus a partner's account, for example — click the organization pill at the bottom-left of the sidebar.

Click a different organization to switch. The Dashboard refreshes with that organization's projects, and the sidebar updates to show whichever Settings tabs your role allows.

Roles are per organization

You can be Owner in one organization and Member in another — they don't carry over. The role badge in the switcher tells you what you have in each.

Update your profile

The Account button sits just below the organization pill. Click it to open the account menu.

Click User settings to manage your account. The same menu has a Dark Mode toggle if you prefer a darker interface.

Three things you can change here:

• Profile Information — your display name. The email field is read-only.
• Linked Accounts — link a Google or Microsoft account to your existing sign-in so you can use either method next time. You always need at least one linked provider.
• Change Password — only relevant if you sign in with email and password.

Your email is locked

The email address shown in Profile Information can't be changed self-serve. Ask your admin or Recognito support if you need it updated.

Notifications and language settings aren't on this page yet — notifications are configured per project, and Recognito is currently English-only.

What's next

• How Recognito works — the mental model: projects, fields, the two status tracks, and the Mapping rule engine. Five minutes; worth reading before you configure anything.
• 5-minute quick start — upload your first document and see extraction in action.
