# Manage your account

Create an account, sign in and out, reset a forgotten password, and move between the workspaces you belong to.

One Treehouse account gets you into every workspace you belong to, in the web app, the desktop app and the CLI.

## Create an account

1. Go to [app.trytree.house/sign-up](https://app.trytree.house/sign-up).
2. Enter your name, email and a password of 8 characters or more. Or select **GitHub** or **Google** to sign up with that account instead.
3. Select **Plant your treehouse**.

You get a workspace of your own straight away. If you're asked to **Pick a plan**, **Start on Seedling** keeps it free. If you created your account to accept an invite, open the invite link again afterwards to join that workspace.

## Sign in and out

To sign in, go to [app.trytree.house/sign-in](https://app.trytree.house/sign-in), enter your email and password and select **Climb in**, or use **GitHub** or **Google**.

To sign out, open the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar and choose **Sign out**. That signs out this browser. The desktop app has its own **Sign Out** in the menu bar menu (see [manage synced folders](https://trytree.house/docs/desktop/manage-synced-folders)).

## Reset a forgotten password

1. On the sign-in page, select **Forgot your password?**.
2. Enter your email and select **Send reset link**.
3. Open the email from Treehouse and follow the link.
4. Enter a new password twice and select **Reset password**.
5. Sign in with the new password.

If the link has expired or already been used, select **Request a new link** to start again.

## Switch between workspaces

The workspace switcher at the top of the sidebar lists every workspace you belong to, whether you created it or were invited. Select one to switch. From the same menu you can also create a **New workspace** or **Customize current** (see [customise your workspace](https://trytree.house/docs/sharing/customise-your-workspace)).

## Things you can't do in the app yet

There's currently no page for changing your name, email address or password while you're signed in, and no way to delete your account yourself. To do any of these, email [info@pixelhop.io](mailto:info@pixelhop.io) from the address on your account and we'll sort it out.

If you only need a new password, [resetting it](https://trytree.house/docs/account/your-account#reset-a-forgotten-password) works while you're signed out.

## Troubleshooting

### The reset email hasn't arrived

Check your spam folder, and that you entered the address you signed up with. If you signed up with GitHub or Google, sign in with that button instead.
