<Note>

</Note>

## Email Verification

Email verification confirms ownership of your address.

* **During sign-up**: Verification is required before full access
* **After changing email**: The previous email remains active until the new email is verified

If your verification link expires, request a new one from the authentication flow.

## Social Login

itellicoAI supports social login providers on the auth pages (for example Google and Apple) when available.

## Invitation Links

If a teammate invites you to an existing account, the invitation link checks whether you already have an itellicoAI login.

* **Existing users** are sent to the login page first, then returned to the invitation acceptance screen
* **New users** are sent to sign up with the invited email prefilled

After sign-up or login, the invite flow shows the target team and gives you a clear **Accept** or **Decline** choice.

If the invitation is invalid or expired, ask an account admin to resend it from [Team Management](/accounts/team-management).

## What You Might See After Sign-Up

Some people see one extra step before they reach the main app:

* **Invitation profile completion**: invited signups may see a short welcome step to collect first and last name before entering the invited account
* **No account yet**: signed-in users with no account membership are sent to a create account screen instead of the regular dashboard

These are normal setup screens, not errors.

## Troubleshooting
