đSet Up Your Account
Follow these steps to create your account on cheqd Studio and begin using our APIs securely.
The user is required to Log In to our cheqd Studio portal and then access their API key to authenticate with our APIs. The API key guards the API from unauthorized access and is required for both testing production environments.
Step 1: Get started with cheqd Studio
Head to our cheqd Studio and click Get Started.
Step 2: Create your account
cheqd Studio uses a third party service called LogTo to handle user authentication and login. You can create an account or sign in using:
Email and password
Google single sign-on
Discord login
Click Sign In or Create Account to continue.


Step 3: Create a new API key and authenticate with cheqd Studio APIs
Once signed in, create an API key from your account dashboard. This key is required to authenticate with cheqd Studio APIs and protects your environment from unauthorized access.
Step 4: Start using cheqd
Get started with our tutorials for cheqd Studio functionality.
