How to Sign Up for an Account
After signing up for a LynHub account, you can publish design requests, upload design projects, participate in reviews, and create forked improvements. This guide explains how to create an account with Google or an email verification code, common failure reasons, and security reminders.
When you need to sign up
Browsing public projects and requests does not require signing up. The following actions require an account: - Publishing a design request - Uploading a design project - Submitting a proposal - Submitting a structured review - Creating a forked improvement - Bookmarking projects or requests - Viewing personal review history (future feature) - Using membership features (future feature) If you are just browsing content, you do not need to sign up.
How to create an account
The signup page offers two ways to create an account: 1. Google signup: click the "Sign up with Google" button, complete the authorization on the Google consent page, and the system will automatically create or enter your account and redirect to the account page. 2. Email verification code signup: enter your commonly used email address, click "Send code", and the system will send an email with a code. Enter the code on the page and click "Verify and create account" to complete the signup. Use a long-term email address, not a temporary one. If you already have an account, click the "Log in" link at the bottom of the page to go to the login page.
Common signup failure reasons
Here are the most common reasons for signup failure and how to resolve them: 1. Email already registered: this email has already been used to sign up for a LynHub account. If you own this email, go directly to the login page and use the email verification code login. 2. Invalid email format: check if the email address contains the @ symbol and a correct domain (e.g. @gmail.com, @qq.com). 3. Incorrect or expired code: the verification code has a limited validity period. Make sure you enter the latest code from the email. If it has expired, click "Resend code" to get a new one. 4. Didn't receive the code email: check your spam folder. If you still haven't received it, click "Resend code" or contact support@lynhub.com. 5. Google authorization failed: if you cancel the authorization or encounter an error on the Google consent page, click "Sign up with Google" again to retry. 6. Network issues: if your network is unstable, the request may time out. Check your network connection and try again. 7. Account service temporarily unavailable: if you see a message saying "The account service is temporarily unavailable", the platform account service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later or contact support@lynhub.com.
Security reminders

Platform staff will never ask for your code. - Do not save login state on public computers. - If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact support@lynhub.com immediately.
