Account access and sign-in

Understand how ScrumPulse authentication works and which account-management features need provider confirmation.

Last updated August 7, 2026

ScrumPulse uses Clerk for authentication. The application does not store local passwords and does not include a seeded administrator account.

Create an account#

  1. Select Start free from the public site.
  2. Complete the Clerk sign-up screen.
  3. Complete any verification step requested by Clerk.
  4. Continue to Overview and finish the setup wizard.

The repository confirms the sign-up route and Clerk integration. The enabled identity providers and verification methods depend on the deployed Clerk configuration and need verification by the product owner.

Sign in#

  1. Select Sign in.
  2. Use a method enabled in the deployed Clerk instance.
  3. After authentication, ScrumPulse returns you to the requested protected page or Overview.

Sign out and profile#

Use the account area at the bottom of the application sidebar. The profile button is provided by Clerk. Select the adjacent sign-out control to end the application session and return to Sign in.

Password reset, MFA, invitations, and sessions#

These capabilities are not configured in this repository’s application code; they are controlled in Clerk. Before publishing step-by-step instructions, the product owner must confirm:

  • Which sign-in methods are enabled.
  • Whether email verification is required.
  • Whether password reset is available for password-based accounts.
  • Whether multi-factor authentication is required or optional.
  • Who can invite or remove organization members.
  • Whether users can view and revoke active sessions.

If you cannot sign in, see Authentication troubleshooting.
