Create an Account and Sign In to Cora

Set up your free Cora account using email and password or Google, then learn how to log in and recover your password if you forget it.

You need a free Cora account to submit reports, vote, and comment. You can create one in under a minute using an email address and password, or by signing in with your existing Google account. Once your account is active, use the same method to log in each time. If you ever forget your password, Cora can send you a reset link by email.

Create your account

Email & password

1. Open the sign-up page

   Go to /pages/signup, or open /pages/login and use Sign-up here in the footer. The header shows Sign In when logged out.

2. Fill in the form

   Enter the following details:

   • Username — the name other members will see. Must be unique.
   • Email — a valid email address you can access.
   • Password — enter a password, then re-enter the same password in Confirm Password. The Sign up button stays disabled until both fields match.
3. Complete the security check

   A Cloudflare security check appears at the bottom of the form. Complete it before clicking Sign up.

4. Check your inbox

   After submitting, Cora sends a confirmation link to the email address you provided. Open the email and click the link to activate your account. You will not be able to sign in until you confirm your email.

Your username must be at least 3 characters long. Usernames are unique — if the one you want is taken, you will see an error and can try a different one.

Google

1. Open the sign-up page

   Go to /pages/signup, or use Sign-up here from the login page as above.

2. Sign up with Google

   Use Sign up with google at the bottom of the form (keyboard-accessible control). You will be redirected to Google to choose or confirm your account.

3. Return to Cora

   After authorizing, Google redirects you back to Cora and your account is ready to use. No email confirmation step is required.

Log in

Email & password

Open /pages/login, enter your email and password, then click Login. Use the show/hide toggle next to the password field if you want to confirm what you are typing.

Google

On /pages/login, use the dedicated Sign in with Google form below the email/password fields and click its Sign in with Google button. Choose the same Google account you used to sign up.

Reset your password

If you forget your password, you can request a reset link by email.

1. Go to the forgot password page

   On the Log In page, click Forgot Password? below the password field.

2. Enter your email

   Type in the email address associated with your Cora account and click Send Email.

3. Open the reset link

   Check your inbox for an email from Cora. Click the link inside — it will take you to the password reset page.

4. Set a new password

   Enter your new password, confirm it in the second field, then click Reset Password. Once complete, you will be redirected to the login page and can sign in with your new password.

Cora sends the reset email regardless of whether the address is registered, so you will not see a confirmation that the email exists. If the email does not arrive, check your spam folder or try again.
