# Sign up and set up

> Create your account and your organization. Test mode works straight away.

## Sign in

Go to [developers.fastcac.com](https://developers.fastcac.com). Choose one:

* **Continue with email.** We email you a 6-digit code. Type it in.
* **Continue with Google.**

There's no password. A new email creates your account; an email we know signs you in.

## Setup

After your first sign-in, setup takes you through two steps. You can skip the first.

**1. Verify your identity (optional for now)**

Your BVN and a selfie. You only need this to go live, so you can click **Skip for now**. See
[Verify your identity](https://docs.fastcac.com/dashboard/identity.md).

**2. Create your organization**

Your organization is your company on FastCAC. Two ways to create it:

* **Find your business on CAC** (only if you verified your identity). Type its RC or BN number,
  or its name, and pick it from the results. The name fills in for you; change it if you like.
  Click **Verify and create**. This also verifies the business, which unlocks live keys. If the
  check fails, the organization is still created and you can retry on
  [Compliance](https://docs.fastcac.com/dashboard/compliance.md).

  Whoever verifies the business becomes the funding account's representative with our payments
  partner. If that should be a founder or director, not you, choose **I'll add my CAC details
  later** and [invite them](https://docs.fastcac.com/dashboard/team.md#if-someone-else-should-take-the-organization-live).
* **I'll add my CAC details later.** Type a name and click **Create organization**. If you
  skipped the identity step, this is the only option. You verify the business later on
  [Compliance](https://docs.fastcac.com/dashboard/compliance.md).

The name is what your team sees. You can rename it later.

You see **You're all set**, then go to **Overview**, in test mode. Create a test key and follow
the [Quickstart](https://docs.fastcac.com/quickstart.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> Skipping both still gets you everything in test mode: test keys, the test wallet, webhooks and
> simulated CAC outcomes. You only verify when you're ready to go live.

## Joining by invite

If a teammate invited you, open the link in the email, sign in with the email address the invite
was sent to, and you go straight to their organization's dashboard. There's no identity step and
no organization to create. See [Team and roles](https://docs.fastcac.com/dashboard/team.md#invite-someone).

## Two-factor authentication

If you've turned on 2FA, you enter a code from your authenticator app each time you sign in. If an
organization you belong to requires 2FA and you haven't set it up, you're asked to set it up before
you can open the dashboard. See [Settings and security](https://docs.fastcac.com/dashboard/settings-and-security.md#two-factor-authentication).
