# Creating Your GateBeacon Account

Follow these steps to create a new GateBeacon account and organization.

## Step 1 — Start Sign-Up

Go to **[www.gatebeacon.com](https://www.gatebeacon.com)** and click **Sign Up**.

## Step 2 — Enter Your Details

Provide the following:

- **Email address** — used as your login and for account verification.
- **Password** — minimum 10 characters.
- **Full name**
- **Organization details** — company name, company size, job title, and a contact phone number.

An organization (referred to internally as a *tenant*) is created for you automatically from these details — you don't need to set anything up separately.

## Step 3 — Verify Your Account

GateBeacon sends a one-time verification code to the email address you provided. Enter the code (or follow the verification link, depending on the sign-up flow you're shown) to activate your account.

> **Important:** your account cannot log in until verification is complete. If you don't receive a code within a few minutes, check your spam folder, or use the resend option on the verification screen. Use a real, reachable email address when signing up.

## Step 4 — Log In

Once verified, log in at **[www.gatebeacon.com](https://www.gatebeacon.com)** with your email and password.

## Step 5 — You're In

You'll land on the customer portal dashboard. New accounts start on the free **Community** plan by default. See [Subscription Plans](/books/gatebeacon-documentation/page/subscription-plans) to compare tiers and upgrade if you need more devices or published applications.

## Next Steps
