Creating Your Account

Getting Started1 min readΒ·Updated today

Step-by-step guide to creating your account, verifying email, and setting up your profile.

Sign Up in Minutes

Getting started with itemID is quick and straightforward. Visit the ID website and click the "Register" button. You'll need to provide your name, a valid email address, and a secure password. We recommend using a strong password with at least 8 characters, including a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.

You can also sign up using social login providers for an even faster experience. Once you submit the registration form, you'll receive a verification email within a few minutes.

Verifying Your Email

After signing up, check your inbox for a verification email from itemID. Click the verification link to activate your account. If you don't see the email, check your spam or junk folder. You can also request a new verification email from the login page.

Email verification is important because it ensures you can receive finder notifications when someone scans one of your QR codes. Without a verified email, you may miss critical messages about your lost items.

Setting Up Your Profile

Once verified, log in and head to your profile settings. Here you can:

  • Upload a profile picture
  • Set your preferred language (English or German)
  • Configure your notification preferences
  • Set up a 4-digit security PIN for quick actions

Notification Preferences

We recommend enabling both email and push notifications so you never miss a message from a finder. You can fine-tune these settings at any time from your dashboard. Push notifications are especially useful for time-sensitive alerts when someone has just found your item.

Your account is now ready β€” you can start registering items and creating QR code labels right away.
