Create an Account (Google, Email)
Getting started with Codolio takes less than a minute. Whether you prefer signing up with Google or using your email, the process is simple, secure, and beginner-friendly.
In this guide, you’ll learn:
- The difference between Google SSO and Email Sign-Up
- What information Codolio asks for (and why)
- What beginners should expect during their first login
Why Signing Up Matters
Your Codolio account acts as your central identity—it stores your:
- Question Tracker progress
- Sheets & custom lists
- Verification & platform connections
- Profile stats
- Projects, portfolio data, and C-Score
- Leaderboard eligibility
Without an account, you can browse Codolio publicly—but you cannot track or save anything.
Option 1: Sign Up Using Google (Fastest Method)
Signing up with Google is the recommended method—it’s the fastest, most secure, and requires the least manual work.
â–¶ Step-by-Step: Create an Account with Google
1. Click “Continue with Google” on the Login Page
Where you’ll find it:
Login screen → Big Google button at the top.
Google SSO ensures:
- No passwords to remember
- Instant authentication
- Secure and encrypted login
2. Select Your Google Account
If you’re already logged into Google, you’ll see your accounts listed.
Choose the one you want to use for Codolio
3. Choose Your Codolio Username
After Google authenticates your identity, Codolio will ask you to:
- Pick a unique username
Why we ask for this:
Your username becomes your public Codolio profile link, used for portfolios, sharing, and recruiter visibility.
4. Account Created → Redirect to Dashboard
Once you confirm your username:
- Your account is created instantly
- You are redirected to the Codolio Dashboard
- The platform is ready to use immediately
No additional verification needed for Google users.
Option 2: Sign Up with Email (Secure & OTP Verified)
If you prefer using an email instead of Google, Codolio supports a simple and secure OTP-based signup.
â–¶ Step-by-Step: Create an Account with Email
1. Enter Your Email
Click Sign Up with Email and provide your email address.
2. Verify Email with OTP
We send a 6-digit OTP to the email you entered.
On the OTP screen:
- Enter the OTP
- Click Verify
Once your email is verified, you proceed to personal details.
3. Fill in Your Personal Details
You will be asked to provide the following:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Username (must be unique)
- Password
- Confirm Password
These details help us personalize your profile and secure your account.
