Sign Up

1) Sign Up via the sign-up form: One can fill in the sign-up form available at publiclab.org/signup and create his/her account.

2) Sign Up via provider:

• Sign up via provider for New User: If he wants to sign up via provider then he/she logs in via his/her provider's account. Then a new account is generated for the user along with the provider's information as user-tag available on www.publiclab.org/profile/user_name page. An email is sent so that he/she can set his/her password. The following video explains well

• Sign up of existing user: For an existing user, if he/she clicks on Sign Up via providers on the www.publiclab.org then the provider's information is linked to his/her existing account and he/she is logged in. The existing user is checked via the email address in Public Lab database. The following video explains this:
