# Login

The **Login** screen is what greets a player when they open the mail app (unless they're already signed in). They enter their email and password to get into their inbox.

* **Email** — the account's full address. It comes **pre-filled** with the last account used on that laptop, so most players just type their password.
* **Password** — their account password.
* **Trust this laptop** — a checkbox that keeps them signed in on that device, so next time the app opens straight into the inbox without asking to log in again.
* **Sign in** button, and a **"Create one"** link at the bottom for players who don't have an account yet (takes them to sign-up).

**Good to know**

* If the laptop is trusted, the login screen is skipped entirely and the inbox opens automatically.
* Wrong password or an email that doesn't exist shows a clear error message right on the form.

### Sign up

The **Sign up** screen lets a player create a new email account. They choose a username and a domain, set a display name and a password, and they're in.

* **Username** + **Domain** — sit side by side and together form the address (e.g. `yourname` + `@avscripts.com`). The domain is a dropdown that shows the default domain plus any domains the player owns.
* **Display name** — the name shown to others on their emails (up to 24 characters).
* **Password** and **Confirm password** — must match.
* **Create account** button, and a **"Sign in"** link to go back to login.

**Good to know**

* The username has to be unique on that domain and follows simple rules (a few characters long, letters/numbers and basic symbols).
* If the two passwords don't match, or the username/address is taken, the form shows a clear message.
* After creating the account, the player is signed straight into their new inbox.
