There are multiple ways to create a Plaky account and log in. This depends on whether you’re starting a new Workspace from scratch, joining an existing one via invitation, or returning as an existing user. Plaky accounts are always tied to a Workspace, so the method you use to sign up depends on whether you’re creating one or joining one.

There are two ways to create a Plaky account:

Let’s look at both methods in more detail.

Tip

After creating an account at Plaky, whether you’ve initiated a Workspace or joined an existing one, be sure to record and save your Workspace subdomain from the URL (you may want to bookmark it). The Workspace URL will be required every time you log in to access your Workspace.

Passwordless login in Plaky #

Passwordless login is an authentication method that completely removes the need for passwords. Instead of entering a password, you need to authenticate yourself by using an OTP (one-time password) code sent to your email address. 

How passwordless login works in Plaky #

  1. Enter your email address on the Plaky login page
  2. OTP code is sent to your email address
  3. Enter the OTP code in the designated fields on the login page
  4. After authentication, you’ll be automatically logged in to your Plaky workspace
Info

If you’re not receiving verification emails, it might be due to too many unused OTP codes. To fix this, simply open the last verification email and click the click here button to start receiving emails again. Always use your login code within 30 minutes to avoid this issue in the future.
