Signing in and creating an account
Judicio has no password. You sign in with Google, with Microsoft, or with a six digit code emailed to you, and the same screen creates your account if you do not have one yet.
One screen does both jobs. It lives at /login, and it opens in one of two presentations. Create an account is the default, headed Start your 7-day free trial with Judicio. Sign in reads Welcome back! Please sign in to continue. The two look different and say different things, but they run the same flow: whichever you use, Judicio only finds out whether the address already has an account after your code is verified.
No password field, no "Forgot password", no verification link to click. If a page is asking you for a Judicio password, you are not on Judicio. The only thing that arrives in your inbox is a six digit code.
Sign in, step by step
Open the sign-in screen
Go to the app. Older links still work: /sign-in sends you here in Sign in mode, and /sign-up sends you here in Create an account mode. Anything you were trying to reach is remembered and reapplied after you are in, which is how a colleague's invitation link survives the detour.
The two presentations swap freely. Under the form sits a prompt and a button: Already have an account? with Sign in, or Don't have an account? with Sign up. Nothing you have typed is lost when you swap.
Continue with Google or Microsoft
Under the heading Continue with sit two buttons: Continue with Google and Continue with Microsoft. Press one and you are handed to that provider, and returned to Judicio when it is done. The button reads Connecting to Google or Connecting to Microsoft while the handover runs.
This is the shortest route, and it skips the code step entirely. A brand new account still stops at the consent screen in step 5.
Or use your email address
Below the divider Or sits a single field labelled Email address, with the placeholder Enter your email and the note We'll email you a 6-digit code to continue. No password needed.
The button under it is Sign up with email in create mode and Sign in with email in sign-in mode. Both do the same thing: send you a code.
An address Judicio cannot parse is refused on the spot with Please enter a valid email address, before anything is sent.
Enter the verification code
The screen becomes Enter the verification code, and tells you which address the code went to. Six boxes take the six digits. You can paste the whole code into the first box.
Verify Email stays disabled until all six digits are in.
Under the boxes sits Didn't receive the code? For the first 30 seconds it reads Resend code in 30s and counts down. After that it becomes a Resend code button. A successful resend says We've emailed you a new code and restarts the countdown. A failed one says so instead, and the countdown does not restart, so a failure is never hidden behind a running timer.
The back arrow at the top left clears the attempt and returns you to the email screen, so a typo in the address is one click from fixed.
Agree to the terms
New accounts only. The screen reads One last step, subtitled Review and accept our terms to create your account.
There is one decision on it: a tick box reading I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, with both phrases linked. Agree and continue is disabled until the box is ticked. Clicking either link opens it in a new tab without ticking the box.
Existing accounts never see this screen. They go straight through.
Land in the right place
A returning user lands on the dashboard. A brand new account lands in Setting up your account instead.
If you arrived from an invitation link, you are returned to that invitation so the ticket can be applied, rather than dropped on either of the above. See Accepting an invitation.
What the screen shows
| Control | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Continue with Google | Under the Continue with divider | Signs you in through Google. Skips the code step |
| Continue with Microsoft | Directly below it | Signs you in through Microsoft. Skips the code step |
| Email address | Under the Or divider | The address the six digit code is sent to |
| Sign up with email / Sign in with email | Under the field | Sends the code and moves you to the code screen. The label follows the mode you are in |
| Sign in / Sign up | Bottom of the screen | Swaps the presentation. Same flow either way |
| Verify Email | Code screen | Checks the code. Disabled until six digits are entered |
| Resend code | Code screen | Sends a fresh code. Locked for 30 seconds after each send |
| Agree and continue | One last step screen | Creates the account. Disabled until the consent box is ticked |
When something goes wrong
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Incorrect verification code. Please try again | The digits do not match. Retype them, or use Resend code |
| That code expired. We just emailed you a new one. | Codes do not last forever. A replacement has already been sent |
| Too many attempts. with a countdown | Too many tries in a row. The screen tells you how many seconds remain, and offers Start over |
| An account with this email already exists. Signing you in instead. | You chose Create an account for an address that already has one. Nothing is duplicated |
| We didn't find an account for this email. Creating one for you. | You chose Sign in for an address with no account. It is created for you |
| We hit a snag | The code was accepted but the session could not be finished. Try again retries it; Start over returns you to the email screen |
| We couldn't keep you signed in | This browser cannot hold the session, usually because third-party cookies are blocked or you are on a preview address. Back to sign in clears it and starts again |
Invitations are matched by email address. Signing in with the address a colleague invited is what puts you in their organisation rather than in a workspace of your own.
