* A valid email address that you can access immediately.
* A project or application that you want to deploy.
* A basic understanding of virtual machines, storage, or general cloud concepts.

## Use Social Sign-Up

* If you prefer a faster setup, you can choose **Sign Up with Google** instead of creating a password.

* This method links your Tenbyte Cloud account to your Google identity, making login simple and password-free.

* Use this option if you want:
  * Quicker onboarding
  * Fewer passwords to manage
  * Automatic access control through your Google account

* Once completed, your dashboard will open just like a regular email-based account.
