Your account and keeping it safe

Create your account

Go to console.pgbhub.com/register. Enter First Name, Last Name, Email Address, an optional Initial Project Name, a Password and Confirm Password, then choose Create Account. You are sent to sign in. Use at least 10 characters: the registration form accepts 8, but changing your password later requires 10, and the mobile app also asks for 10.

If you already have an account, the page behaves the same and the account's owner receives an email about the attempt. This protects privacy.

Sign in

Enter your email and password and choose Sign In. You may also see Continue with Google or Continue with Apple; these only appear if PGBHub has enabled them. After a few wrong attempts the account waits a short time (up to 15 minutes), growing with each failure.

If you forget your password choose Forgot password?, enter your email and use the link, which expires after an hour.

Turn on two-step sign-in

1. Open Account Security from the account menu.
2. Find Two-factor authentication and choose Turn on.
3. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (or use Can't scan? Enter this key manually).
4. Enter the 6-digit code and choose Confirm.
5. Save the emergency recovery codes with Download as .txt. They are shown once, and each works once.

Next time you sign in, you will be asked for an App code, an Email code or a Recovery code.
