Create Your Lylac Account and Sign In

Lylac uses password-free sign-in. You can receive a one-time email link, continue with Google or Microsoft, or use your organisation's single sign-on if your organisation requires it.

If your email address is new to Lylac, your account is created as part of sign-in. There is no separate password setup step.

Before you start

You need:

• access to the email address you want to use with Lylac;
• access to your Google or Microsoft account, if you choose that provider;
• your organisation email address, if your organisation requires single sign-on.

Sign in with an email link

1. Open the sign-in screen

   Open the sign-in screen and choose the email field when you want Lylac to send a one-time sign-in link.

2. Enter your email address

   Use the email address that should be connected to your Lylac account. When you continue, Lylac checks whether the address must use organisation single sign-on.

3. Send the link

   Choose Continue with email. If the address can use email links, Lylac sends a single-use link to that inbox and shows Check your email.

   The email link expires after 30 minutes and can only be used once. Choose Use a different email if you entered the wrong address.

4. Open the email and continue

   Choose the sign-in button in the email. On Confirm it's you, choose Confirm sign-in. Lylac then opens the next area for your account.

Sign in with Google or Microsoft

1. Choose your provider

   Select Google or Microsoft on the sign-in screen. On small screens, Microsoft appears as an icon button labelled Sign in with Microsoft.

2. Complete the provider steps

   Your browser opens the provider sign-in and consent screens. Follow the prompts there.

3. Return to Lylac

   After the provider approves the sign-in, Lylac opens the right area for your account.

Sign in with organisation SSO

If your organisation requires single sign-on, enter your organisation email address and choose Continue with email. Lylac checks your email domain when you submit and sends you to your organisation's identity provider.

1. Enter your organisation email address

   Use the work email address connected to your organisation.

2. Continue with email

   Choose Continue with email. Lylac sends you to your organisation provider to sign in.

3. Finish the provider sign-in

   After your provider returns you to Lylac, your account opens according to your organisation access and your saved Lylac view.
