# Xiid Account Onboarding #

To start integrating your Identity and Access Management system with Xiid, you must first create an account with 
Xiid through the onboarding portal here: [https://onboardv3.xiid.com/](https://onboardv3.xiid.com/).

Follow the steps and fill out the information to create an Xiid Account. 
After clicking the __Sign Up__ button, you will receive an email with additional instructions to verify your account, 
including a verification email for your email address and an OTP verification for your provided phone number. 
Please keep in mind that the SMS code has a 3600 second timeout, so it is recommended to finish account onboarding all at once.

After your account has been verified, you will need to provide a short name for your Xiid Account. 
This name is used in the DNS Record created for your Single Sign-On (SSO) Portal.

For example, if your short name is “xiidtechnology”, the DNS record for your Single Sign-On Portal would 
be [https://xiidtechnology.us.xiid.im/](https://xiidtechnology.us.xiid.im/)
After finishing these steps, you will receive an additional email from Xiid with a link to the management 
portal ([https://managev3.xiid.com/](https://managev3.xiid.com/)), as well as your login instructions.
