# Create Your Webhooktrap Account and Manage Sign-In

> Sign up for a free Webhooktrap account to get persistent inboxes, full replay history, and read-only share links for your whole team.

A free Webhooktrap account unlocks everything you need for ongoing webhook development: inboxes that persist until you delete them, a full replay history per inbox, named integrations to keep things organised, and read-only share links so teammates can inspect events without needing their own login. If you've been using anonymous inboxes and want to stop losing captured events after 48 hours, creating an account is the next step.

## Sign-up options

Navigate to [https://webhooktrap.dev/dashboard](https://webhooktrap.dev/dashboard) and choose the method that suits you.

**GitHub OAuth** — Click **Continue with GitHub** and authorise the Webhooktrap application. Your account is created instantly using your GitHub email address. No additional steps required.

**Google OAuth** — Click **Continue with Google** and select the Google account you want to associate with Webhooktrap. Your account is ready as soon as you grant permission.

**Email and password** — Enter your email address and choose a password between 8 and 32 characters. You'll receive a verification email; click the link inside to activate your account before signing in for the first time.

<Note>
  Anonymous inboxes you created before signing up are not automatically migrated to your new account. After signing in, create a new saved inbox and update your webhook provider's URL to point to it.
</Note>

## Sign in

Go to [https://webhooktrap.dev/dashboard](https://webhooktrap.dev/dashboard) at any time to sign in. Select the same method you used during sign-up — OAuth sessions are one click, while email-and-password accounts prompt you for your credentials.

## Reset your password

If you signed up with email and password and need to reset it:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Request a reset email">
    On the sign-in page, click **Forgot password?** and enter the email address associated with your account. Webhooktrap sends a password reset code to that address within a few seconds.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the reset code">
    Open the email and copy the reset code. Paste it into the confirmation field on the reset page. Codes are single-use and expire after a short window, so complete the next step promptly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a new password">
    Enter a new password between 8 and 32 characters and confirm it. Your password is updated immediately and you are signed in automatically.
  </Step>
