<Steps>
<Step title="Visit the homepage">
Head over to [https://rxresu.me](https://rxresu.me) and click on the <Badge>Get Started</Badge> button.
</Step>
<Step title="Navigate to the sign up page">
You should see a link that says <Badge>Don't have an account? Create one now →</Badge>. Click on that link to go to the sign up page and you should see a form.
</Step>
<Step title="Fill in your details">
Complete the sign up form with the following information:
- **Name**: Your full name
- **Email Address**: A valid email address you have access to.
- **Username**: Choose a unique username (this will be used in your public resume URLs)
- **Password**: Create a strong password
<Warning>
Make sure to choose a username you're happy with, as it will be part of your public resume URL (e.g., `rxresu.me/your-username/resume-slug`).
</Warning>
</Step>
<Step title="Sign up and log in">
After filling in all the required fields, click the **Sign Up** button. You will be immediately logged in and can start using Reactive Resume right away.
<Tip>
No email verification is required to get started. However, it is highly recommended to verify your email address for account security.
</Tip>
</Step>
<Step title="Verify your email (recommended)">
While email verification is optional, it is strongly recommended to verify your email address. This helps in:
- **Securing your account**: Ensures you have access to the email address associated with your account
- **Password recovery**: Allows you to reset your password, in case you forget it
<Info>
You can verify your email at any time from your account settings. Look for the verification prompt in your dashboard or navigate to **Settings → Profile**.

</Step>
<Step title="Access your dashboard">
Click on **Continue** and you should be taken to your Dashboard, where you can:
- Create your first resume
- Import an existing resume
- Manage your account settings

<Accordion title="Username Already Taken">
If you see an error that your username is already taken, try a different variation. Usernames must be unique across
all users.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Email Already Registered">
If your email is already registered, you can use the **Forgot Password** link on the login page to reset your
password and regain access to your account.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Didn't Receive Verification Email">
Check your spam folder first. If you still don't see it, you can request a new verification email from your account
settings.
