# Get Started with Flowtask: Add Your First Task Fast

> Create your Flowtask account using email OTP or Google OAuth, complete the three-step onboarding flow, and capture your very first task.

Getting up and running with Flowtask takes just a few minutes. Follow the three steps below to create your account, set up your profile, and capture your first task — then you'll be ready to explore everything Flowtask has to offer.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Navigate to the Flowtask sign-up page and choose how you'd like to register.

    **Option A — Email + OTP:**

    1. Enter your email address and click **Continue**.
    2. Check your inbox for a 6-digit one-time passcode (OTP).
    3. Enter the code on the verification screen to confirm your email and access your account.

    **Option B — Google OAuth:**
    Click **Sign in with Google** for instant access. Flowtask will securely authenticate you through your Google account — no password required.

    <Note>
      OTP codes are valid for 5 minutes. If yours expires, request a new one from the verification screen.
