Sign in or create an account

Signing in and signing up are the same page: go to shotz.co/signin. If there’s no account for your email yet, Shotz makes one and sets up a workspace for you.

Three ways in

• Email me a code. Enter your email and Shotz sends a 6-digit code. Type it in and you’re signed in as soon as the last digit goes in, or open the link in the same email instead. The code and the link each work once, for an hour. If nothing arrives, Send a new code appears after a minute.
• Continue with Google. Signs you in with your Google account.
• Use a password instead. Works once you’ve set a password, either when you first sign up or later in your account. If you’ve forgotten it, choose Forgot password? and Shotz emails you a link to set a new one. That link also works for an hour.

You can always go back to an email code, even after you set a password.

The first time you sign in

Shotz asks a few short questions, one a screen:

1. What should we call you? Your name goes on everything you make. Underneath is your Handle, the address of your page in the community (shotz.co/@yourhandle). It follows your name until you type your own.
2. Name your workspace. Where your edits, files and credits live. You can rename it any time. If someone invited you into their workspace, this step is skipped.
3. Add a password? Optional. Choose Skip and Shotz keeps emailing you a code.
4. Pick a plan. Shown if your workspace is on Free and you didn’t already choose a plan on the pricing page. Continue to checkout opens the payment page. If you only want to edit for now, choose Just edit for now: the editor is free.

Everything except the plan is saved when you finish the password step, so leaving at the plan step still leaves you set up.

If something goes wrong

• “That code didn’t work”: it may be mistyped, used already or more than an hour old. Send yourself a new one and use the newest.
• “Too many emails sent”: wait a minute, then try again.
• “That email and password don’t match”: if you’ve never set a password, sign in with an email code instead.
