# Quickstart for Cora users

> Create an account, verify your phone, and submit a report — aligned with the current Cora web app.

Follow these steps on the live app at [cora.fyi](https://cora.fyi) (or your team's deployment).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account">
    Open [`/pages/signup`](https://cora.fyi/pages/signup) or use the **Sign-up here** link on the [`/pages/login`](https://cora.fyi/pages/login) page.

    You can register with **email and password** (then confirm your email from the inbox link) or use **Sign up with Google**. The main header shows **Sign In** when you are logged out; there is no separate **Sign Up** control in the bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in">
    Go to [`/pages/login`](https://cora.fyi/pages/login). Email/password use the main form; **Sign in with Google** is a separate submit control. Cloudflare Turnstile may appear on auth pages depending on configuration.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your phone (required for reports, votes, comments)">
    Complete SMS verification on **[`/pages/verify-phone`](/pages/verify-phone)**. You can open it from **Authorize Now** on the in-app reminder when you try to upload without verification, or go there directly while signed in.

    Until `profiles.phone_verified` is true, you can still browse the **Reports** page and **interactive map** without signing in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit a report">
    Open **[Make a Report](/pages/upload)** (`/pages/upload`). If you are **not signed in**, you will see a sign-in gate first. If you are signed in but **not verified**, you will see the authorization reminder instead of the form.

    On the form: choose a **category** (required — the server rejects missing category), add **title** and **description** (required), fill **address** fields, optionally attach a **PNG or JPEG** (about **4 MB max**), then submit. After success you are redirected to the **home** page (`/`).
  </Step>
</Steps>
