{% step %}
#### **Verify Your Identity**
Check your inbox for an email from **Kognitos** with the subject line *"Login to Kognitos"*. The email will contain a **6-digit verification code**. Copy the code and enter it into Kognitos, then click Continue.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Didn't get the verification code?** Check your spam folder or click **Resend** after 60 seconds.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### **Profile Setup**
Once you've verified your identity, you need to set up your profile. Enter your **First Name**, **Last Name**, and **Company**. Then, click Continue.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
You’ll then be logged into Kognitos and guided through setting up your organization and initial workspace.
## 2. Organization Setup
Set up your organization to manage users and shared resources. Enter your **Organization name** and your **Role** in that organization *(optional).* Then, click Create organization .
{% hint style="info" %}
An **organization** is your company or team's home on Kognitos. Every user must belong to one. Organizations allow you to manage members, billing, and settings in one place.
{% endhint %}
## 3. Workspace Setup
Create a **workspace** where you’ll build and run automations. Enter a **workspace name** and **workspace domain** *(optional)*. Then, click Create workspace.
{% hint style="info" %}
A **workspace** is a dedicated section within an organization where your automation projects live. You can create multiple workspaces later to organize different processes, teams, or initiatives.
{% endhint %}
## 4. Tell Us What Matters
Tell us what matters to you to better tailor your experience. Select your focus, then click Continue.
{% hint style="success" %}
This step is **optional** — click Skip for now to continue without sharing.
