# Signing Up

{% hint style="info" %}
These instructions are outlined for the native Mac version of [Sogni Studio](https://www.sogni.ai/studio) but also apply for [Sogni Pocket](https://www.sogni.ai/pocket) (iOS) and the web version at [app.sogni.ai](http://app.sogni.ai/)
{% endhint %}

When opening a Sogni app for the first time, you'll be prompted to Login or Create an account. Accounts are mandatory for both Artist and Worker modes when using or powering the Sogni Supernet.

### Create Secure Password

Enter a secure password or opt to use the suggested Strong Password.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you forget or lose your password, we have **no way** of recovering this password or resetting it. We highly recommend backing up your password.
{% endhint %}

### Review Your Credentials

{% hint style="info" %}
Your Sogni wallet is protected by a combination that uses your username and password. The private keys that give you access to your wallet are created from this combination. This process is one-way and highly secure, ensuring that only you can access your wallet.

For your privacy, passwords are not saved on any backend servers—they are only stored in your Mac's keychain, and only you have access to them.
{% endhint %}

Review and check your credentials. When ready, click Create Account.
