Create your account

Anyone 18 or over can create an account, on the website at linkedwithin.com or in the app.

Sign up with Google or Apple

Choose Continue with Google or Continue with Apple on the sign-up page. Google or Apple asks you to confirm; then you accept our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy and tick I confirm that I am 18 years of age or older. There is no password and no code to enter.

Sign up with your email address

1. 1
   Open Sign up on the website or in the app.
2. 2
   Enter your name, your email address and a password.
3. 3
   Tick the 18-or-over box, agree to our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, then choose Create account.
4. 4
   We email you a 6-digit code. Enter it on the Verify your email screen. The code is valid for 24 hours; if it has expired, choose Resend and we send a new one.
5. 5
   Sign in with your email and password.

If someone invited you by email

If your email has a "Set your password" link, we have already created an account for the address it was sent to.

1. 1
   Open the link within 7 days.
2. 2
   Choose a password and confirm it.
3. 3
   Tick I confirm that I am 18 years of age or older, then tick the boxes to agree to our Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy.
4. 4
   Choose Activate account, then sign in.

The link confirms your email address, so there is no code to enter.

One account per inbox

Each LinkedWithin account has its own email inbox. Addresses that arrive in the same inbox count as the same address: name+anything@example.com is name@example.com, and for Gmail na.me@gmail.com and name@googlemail.com are name@gmail.com too. Temporary inbox services (the kind that last a few minutes) cannot be used for an account, because we could never reach you there again.

If someone started a sign-up with your address and never confirmed it, signing up yourself replaces it: the code goes to your inbox, so only you can finish. If the password typed then was not yours, the account keeps no password until the code is entered. The website then asks you to choose one; in the app, set it with Forgot password. Unconfirmed sign-ups are removed after 48 hours.

If sign-up refuses your address

Check for a typo and try again. A temporary inbox, or an inbox that already has an account, cannot be used (see above). Still stuck? Email contact@linkedwithin.com and tell us the address you used.

Why we ask about your age

A LinkedWithin account is for adults. A person under 18 can only be part of LinkedWithin as a Family Profile inside a parent's or legal guardian's account, and a Family Profile is not a sign-in.
