Your account is what you sign in with; your workspace is where API keys, credits, jobs and team members live. Signing up creates a personal workspace for you automatically — you can join or create more later (see Workspaces and team).

​
Create an account

1

Sign up

Go to platform.softquantus.com and choose Sign up. Enter your name, email and a password (minimum 8 characters). You can optionally enter an organization name — it becomes your workspace’s name; otherwise the workspace is named after you.
2

Verify your email

The platform emails you a 6-digit verification code. Enter it to verify the address. A code expires after 10 minutes; request a new one if it lapses.
3

You're in

After verification you are signed in and land in your workspace. Signing up with an email that already exists returns an error — sign in instead.

​
Sign-in methods

The console supports two sign-in methods:
  • Email + password — standard credentials.
  • Google — one-click sign-in with your Google account. Google-verified emails skip the code step. If a Google account and an email account share the same address, they are linked to the same user.
An account created via Google has no password. Trying to sign in with email + password on such an account returns an explicit error telling you to use Google. Set a password later with the password-reset flow if you want both.
Console sign-in issues a session as an HttpOnly cookie plus a CSRF token (double-submit X-CSRF-Token header, handled by the console automatically). Programmatic access does not use sessions at all — it authenticates each request with an API key in the Authorization: Bearer sq-live-... header.

​
Reset a forgotten password

  1. On the sign-in page choose Forgot password and enter your email.
  2. If the address is registered, you receive a reset link (/reset-password?token=...). The link is valid for 1 hour.
  3. Set the new password. You are signed in immediately after a successful reset.
The forgot-password endpoint always returns the same generic message whether or not the email exists, so it cannot be used to enumerate accounts.

​
Accept a workspace invitation

Workspace owners and admins can invite you by email (see Workspaces and team):
  • The invitation email carries a link with an invite_token. Open it, sign in (or sign up) with the invited email address, and confirm.
  • If you already use the console, pending invitations also appear under the bell icon in the sidebar — accept or dismiss them there.
  • Invitations are not accepted automatically on sign-in; you must explicitly accept each one.
  • An invitation can only be accepted by the account it was sent to; using a different account returns 403.
Accepting adds the workspace to your workspace switcher. Your personal workspace is unaffected.

​
Profile and workspace settings

Under Settings in the console you can update your display name and the current workspace’s name. Your email address is your identity and is not editable from the console.
