# Create an account

> Create an OpenPMM signup link and start a verified account and Workspace from the CLI.

Use `signup create --authorize-cli` for one account and CLI setup flow.

```bash theme={null}
openpmm signup create \
  --email publisher@example.com \
  --workspace-name "Product Marketing" \
  --authorize-cli \
  --json
```

The CLI opens `signup_url` in a browser and returns the safe URL immediately.
Continue with Google or
create an account with the same email address and a password. If the address
already has an OpenPMM identity, select **Sign in** on the signup page. Then
approve the CLI.

After approval, resume the pending authorization:

```bash theme={null}
openpmm auth login --resume --json
```

OpenPMM creates and stores the API key automatically. The signup and resume
JSON never contain the device secret or API key.

Google sign-in completes without a separate email-confirmation step. Email and
password signup requires you to open the confirmation email first. The
confirmation returns you to the same CLI approval page.

The command calls `POST /signup-intents`. It does not read or send an OpenPMM
API key. The link expires after 30 minutes. Use `--no-open` when the agent or
terminal cannot launch a browser; the CLI prints the URL to stderr.

Use `--file` to provide the complete JSON request instead.

```json theme={null}
{
  "email": "publisher@example.com",
  "workspace_name": "Product Marketing",
  "authorize_cli": true,
  "device_name": "Yannick MacBook Pro",
  "cli_version": "0.1.0"
}
```
