Accept your invitation and sign in for the first time
Choose a password from your invitation email and open your workspace.
IdeaLine is open by invitation. A workspace owner or admin adds you, and IdeaLine emails you a link so you can choose a password.
- Find the invitation email
Look for a message from IdeaLine. If you do not see it within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder and search for “IdeaLine”.

- Choose the link in the email
The link opens IdeaLine with the title Welcome. Choose your password. The link is for you only, so do not forward it.
- Type a new password twice
Use at least 12 characters. A long phrase that you can remember works well, and a password manager works even better. Then save.
- Set up two-step sign-in if asked
Your workspace may require a 6-digit code from an authenticator app each time you sign in. Follow the on-screen steps and save your recovery codes. See Two-step sign-in with an authenticator app.
- You are in
Your workspace opens on the tab your owner or you chose as the landing tab. Next, take the screen tour.
Next time, go to the sign-in page and use your email and password. See Sign in.
Nobody at IdeaLine will ever ask you for your password or your 6-digit code. If someone does, it is not us.
