Create your account

Overview

Creating a Clonerix account takes less than sixty seconds end to end. We do not require a credit card for the free tier. This article walks through each step of account creation, explains the optional settings you can configure immediately, and covers the most common sign-up issues users run into and how to resolve them.

Step-by-step

Open the Clonerix homepage and click the Start free button in the top right corner of the navigation bar. If you are already on the application subdomain the button may say Sign up instead. Either one works.

You land on the authentication screen, which offers three options: email and password, Continue with Google, or Continue with GitHub. Pick whichever you prefer. We do not privilege one method over another in terms of feature access or data treatment. All three paths produce identical account states inside the application.

If you choose email and password, enter a valid email address you have regular access to and a secure password. We do not enforce absurd password complexity rules, but we strongly recommend using a unique password generated by your password manager. The account password is hashed using bcrypt before storage. We cannot see or recover the plaintext value.

If you choose Continue with Google or Continue with GitHub, you are redirected to the OAuth consent screen for that provider. Grant the requested minimal permissions and you are redirected back. Clonerix receives only your display name, profile picture, and verified email address from the OAuth provider. We never post anything to your social accounts or request write access to repositories.

After primary authentication you are asked to confirm your email. A six-digit confirmation code is sent to the email address associated with your account. Paste the code into the verification field. If you do not see the email within a few minutes, check the promotions, spam, or updates folder of your inbox. Automated mail filters sometimes route the message incorrectly on first delivery.

Once verification completes you are dropped directly into the dashboard. Welcome to Clonerix. You have a fully-functional free-tier account and two clone credits available immediately.

Recommended first-time settings

Immediately after first sign-in, open the account menu by clicking your profile avatar or initials in the top right corner of the dashboard. Navigate to Settings.

Under Profile settings, confirm that your display name is correct and upload a profile picture if you want. The profile picture is used primarily in support tickets and on billing receipts. Most users leave the default generated initials avatar.

Under Email preferences, decide which communication categories you want to receive. Transactional emails (password reset, billing receipts, important product announcements) are required and cannot be disabled. Marketing newsletters, educational content, and feature-announcement emails are fully optional. We send product emails rarely, roughly once per month at most.

Under Security settings, we strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA). We support time-based one-time password (TOTP) apps such as Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, and Bitwarden. After enabling 2FA, download and store the recovery codes in a safe place. The recovery codes are the only way to regain account access if you lose both your password and your second-factor device.

Creating additional accounts

Individual users should create exactly one account. You cannot transfer clone credits between accounts, and running multiple free-tier accounts to circumvent free-tier quota limits is a violation of the Terms of Service.

If you are part of a larger team or agency, do not create a collection of individual accounts. Contact sales about a team plan with shared workspace, consolidated billing, role-based access control, and audit log exports. Team plans are typically cheaper per-seat than individual Max subscriptions for groups of five or more.

Common sign-up issues

Email confirmation code never arrives. Wait five minutes and check spam, promotions, and social tabs first. If it is still missing, click Resend code. If two resends fail, contact support from the same email address you attempted to register. Our automated mail filters sometimes flag brand-new domains on first registration attempt.

"Email already exists" error during sign-up. This means you previously created an account with that email address, possibly during an earlier product launch window or abandoned free trial. Use the Forgot password flow to regain access instead of creating a duplicate.

OAuth redirects fail or hang. This is almost always caused by aggressive browser privacy extensions, ad blockers with script blocking enabled, or network-level content filters. Try disabling extensions for the sign-in domain temporarily, or switch to a vanilla Chrome or Firefox profile for the initial authentication.

Password reset email is not working. Password reset links expire one hour after issuance for security reasons. If the link in your email is older than sixty minutes, run the Forgot password flow again to generate a fresh link.

Region or country blocks. Clonerix is available globally with a very small number of exceptions for regions subject to broad economic sanctions. If you are physically located in a sanctioned region or attempting to register from an IP associated with one, registration will fail intentionally.

Closing or deleting your account

If you ever decide Clonerix is not a fit, account deletion is available from Settings > Account > Delete account. When you confirm deletion, all projects, cloned pages, media uploads, and drafts are scheduled for permanent removal within thirty days. Deletion is irreversible.

If you are on a paid plan, cancel the subscription first from the Billing section before deleting the account to avoid being charged for a subsequent renewal cycle. Account deletion without prior cancellation does not cancel open invoices or outstanding balances.

Next steps

Now that your account is created and verified, the recommended next step is to work through the hands-on "Clone your first site step by step" tutorial. It walks you end to end through your first clone, the editor interface, your first edits, and first publish.

If you are a paid-plan shopper, the Plans Comparison article compares Free, Pro, and Max side by side across every feature dimension.

Troubleshooting

If nothing in this article resolves your sign-up issue, contact support from the email address you attempted to register with. Include the approximate time of the attempt, the authentication method you used, and any specific error message text you saw on screen. Our average first-response time is under two business hours for registration-related issues.
