### Wait for an Email from Kitehouse
Once your Site Administrator has added you to Kitehouse, an invitation containing your initial login credentials will be sent to the email address provided.
Please monitor your inbox to complete your account creation. If the email does not appear within a few minutes, kindly check your spam or junk folder.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Change your Password
Once you've received your email, sign in at with the email and one-time password provided in the email.
For account security, you'll need to change your password when you first log into Kitehouse.
{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend choosing a password that is hard to guess but easy for you to remember.
Avoid using personal information, such as your birthday, or reusing the same password across multiple accounts.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Change your Preferences
When you first sign into Kitehouse, you can click your account photo found on the upper-left corner of the app and clicking the option called :gears: **Account**.
Under **Account Settings**, you can upload a new profile photo.
Under **Preferences**, you can:
* **Enable Push Notifications**
* **Use Colour Blind patterns** to distinguish colours in the site.
* **Use Mail Links** when sending an email instead of copying their email address to your clipboard.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
And that's the end! As always, you can go back to our [**Staff Guide**](/docs/staff/dashboard.md) if you need help with any of features found in Kitehouse.
