Before you start

You need to be signed out to open the registration form. Have a username, email address, and password ready before you begin.

If you already have an account, use Sign in instead.

Open the Register screen

The Register screen is the public entry point for creating a Conduit account.

Prerequisites

  • You are signed out.

Steps

  1. Open /register in your browser.

Result: The Register screen opens with the registration form.

Understand the registration form

The registration form collects the three details needed to submit an account request and places authentication errors above the form.

What you need to doControl or areaWhat it does
Enter the account nameUsernameAccepts the username for the new account
Enter the account emailEmailAccepts the email address for the new account
Enter the sign-in secretPasswordAccepts the password as a password field
Submit the detailsSign upSubmits the registration form
Read a registration errorAuthentication error areaLists the response errors above the form

Username appears for registration. Email and Password remain on the authentication form. The form requires all three fields, and Sign up is unavailable while the form is invalid. While submission is in progress, the form fields are disabled.

The inputs use their visible placeholder text rather than separate field labels. The screen does not add a field-level validation message, confirmation dialog, or grid.

Enter details and sign up

Use this procedure to send the three required account details and continue to the application's main route after a successful response.

Prerequisites

  • The Register screen is open.
  • You have the username, email address, and password you want to submit.

Steps

  1. Enter the account name in Username.
  2. Enter the account email address in Email.
  3. Enter the account password in Password.
  4. Select Sign up.

Result: The registration request is submitted. A successful response takes you to /.

When registration goes wrong

If registration returns an error, read it in the authentication error area above the form.

What you seeWhat it meansWhat to do

Each API error is rendered as <key> <value> in an error list. No fixed authentication error text is used by the registration screen.

Authentication and loading messages covers shared authentication messages outside this registration error area.
