Login and Register#
Login and Register#
Login and Register are the entry points to your Retentio account. Login lets existing users reach their decks, facts, cards, and review progress. Register creates a new account so you can start building and studying content.
Because learning data and schedules are tied to your account, signing in keeps your work available across sessions and devices.
Login#
Login verifies an existing account with username and password. When they match, you can open your decks, study due cards, and continue where you left off.
If credentials are wrong, the app asks you to check username and password and try again.
Register#
Register creates a new account. You provide:
- Email — used for account identification and related account flows
- Username — how you sign in
- Password and confirm password — must match; registration requires at least 8 characters
- Terms of Service and Privacy Policy — you must accept these before completing registration
After registration you can create decks, define fields, add facts, and study the cards generated from them.
Password confirmation#
The confirm-password field ensures you typed the intended password twice. If the two values differ, registration fails until you correct them—a simple guard against typos that would block future logins.
Password recovery#
The backend supports forgot-password and reset-password flows (request a reset token, then set a new password). When your client exposes those screens, use them if you cannot sign in; your decks and progress remain on the account once you recover access.
Switching between login and register#
The auth screens link to each other: from login you can go to register, and from register back to login, so new and returning users can reach the right flow quickly.
Summary#
Login and Register connect you to your personal learning data. Login restores access for existing users; Register sets up a new account with email, username, password confirmation, and terms acceptance. Together they are the secure gateway to decks, facts, cards, and long-term review in Retentio.
