1. Create your account

CredWatch is self-serve. There's no sales call required to start on the Free tier.

Sign up

  1. Go to app.cred-watch.com/signup.
  2. Enter your company name, work email, and a strong password.
  3. Click Create account — you'll be logged in immediately.

Password requirements

  • 13 characters minimum
  • At least one uppercase letter
  • At least one lowercase letter
  • At least one number
  • At least one symbol

We use bcrypt to store your password. We never see the plaintext.

Verify your email

After signup we send a verification email. You can use the portal for everything except triggering scans until the email is verified.

  • Didn't get the email? Go to app.cred-watch.com/resend-verification. Resends are rate-limited to once every 5 minutes per account; each resend rotates the token and resets the 72-hour clock (the previous link stops working immediately).
  • Click the link in the email — valid for 72 hours. After that, request a new one with Resend verification.

CredWatch holds sensitive findings about your systems. Turn on two-factor authentication before doing anything else:

  1. Go to Profile → Multi-factor authentication.
  2. Scan the QR with Authy, 1Password, Google Authenticator, etc.
  3. Save the 8 recovery codes somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

See Multi-factor authentication for the full walk-through.
