## When to use it

When you sign in for the first time, switch institution, or cannot sign in.

## How to use it

1. **Region**: choose the region your institution uses — **Singapore**, **Hong Kong** or **Indonesia**.
2. **Email**: enter the email of your Micromeet account.
3. Enter your **Password**, or switch to a verification code and click **Send code** to get one by email.
4. Accept the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
5. Click **Sign in**.
6. If your account belongs to more than one institution, choose one in **Choose an institution** and click **Continue**.

## Good to know

- **First sign-in**: you may be asked to **Set your password**. If your account requires a password, you must set one before you continue.
- **Forgot password?** Click it under the Sign in button and reset the password with a code sent to your email.
- **Without signing in** you can still browse websites in tabs. The AI chat and Care Workspace need you to sign in.
- **Account menu**: click your avatar at the right end of the address bar. It shows your institution and email, and has **Change password** and **Log out**.
