How to Create an Optilogic Account
You can create a free account on the Optilogic platform, which includes Cosmic Frog, in just a few clicks. This document shows you two ways in which you can do this. Use the first option if you have Single Sign On (SSO) enabled for your Google (Gmail) or Microsoft account and you want to use this to log into the Optilogic platform.
You can check here to see what is included in your free account (lots!).
This video posted on the Optilogic Training website also covers account creation and then goes into how to navigate Cosmic Frog, a good starting point for new users.
Option 1: Account Creation via www.cosmicfrog.com
To create your free account, go to www.cosmicfrog.com. This will automatically re-direct you to a Cosmic Frog Log In page:
- If you have Single Sign On enabled for a Microsoft account, you can click on “Continue with Microsoft”.
- If you have Single Sign On enabled for a Google account, you can click on “Continue with Google”.
- If you do not use Microsoft or Google Single Sign On, you can click on the Sign Up link at the bottom, and then continue the Account Creation steps which are the same as described further below in this document in the “Option 2: Account Creation via www.optilogic.com” section.
Steps for the “Continue with Microsoft” Option
First, we will walk through the steps of continuing with Microsoft where the user has Single Sign On enabled for their Microsoft account and has clicked on “Continue with Microsoft”. In the next section we will similarly go through the steps for using SSO with a Google account.
After the user has clicked on “Continue with Microsoft”, the following page will be brought up. Click on Accept to continue if the information displayed is correct.
You will see the following message about linking your Microsoft account to your Optilogic account:
Go into your email and find the email with subject “Link Microsoft”, and click on the Link Account button at the bottom of this email:
Should you not have received this email, you can click on “Resend Email”. If you did receive it and you have clicked on the Link Account button, you will be immediately logged into www.optilogic.com and will see the Home screen within the platform, which will look similar to the below screenshot:
From now on, you have 2 options when logging into the Optilogic platform via cosmicfrog.com (see the first screenshot in this documentation): you can log in by clicking on the “Continue with Microsoft” option which will immediately log you in or you can type your credentials into the username / email and password fields to manually log in.
Steps for the “Continue with Google” Option
After the user has clicked on “Continue with Google”, the following page will be brought up. If you have multiple Google email addresses, click on the one you want to use for logging into the Optilogic platform. If the email you want to use is not listed, you can click on “Use another account” and then enter the email address.
If the email you choose to use is not signed in on the device you are on currently, you will be asked for your password next. Please provide it and continue. If it is the first time you are using the email address to log into the Optilogic platform, you will be asked to verify it in the next step:
The default verification method associated with the Google account will be suggested, which in the example screenshot above is to send the verification code to a phone number. If other ways to verify the Google account have been set up, you can click on “More ways to verify” to change the verification method. If you are happy with the suggested method, click on Send. Once you have hit Send, the following form will come up:
You can again switch to another verification method in this screen by clicking on “More ways to verify”, or, if you have received the verification code, you can just enter it into the “Enter the code” field and click on Next. This will log you into the Optilogic platform and you will now see the Home screen within the platform, which will look similar to the last screenshot in the previous section (“Steps for the “Continue with Microsoft” Option”).
From now on, you have 2 options when logging into the Optilogic platform via cosmicfrog.com (see the first screenshot in this documentation): you can log in by clicking on the “Continue with Google” option which will immediately log you in after you have selected the Google email address to use, or you can type your credentials into the username / email and password fields to manually log in.
Option 2: Account Creation via www.optilogic.com
To create your free account, go to www.optilogic.com and click on the yellow “Create a Free Account” button.
The following form will be brought up, please fill out your First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and Phone Number. Then click on Next Step.
Your entered information will be shown back to you, and you can just click on Next Step again. Next, a form where you can set your Username and Password will come up. Click on Next Step again once this form is filled out.
In the final step you will be asked to fill out your Company Name, Role, Industry, and Company Size. Click on Submit after you have filled out these details.
A submission confirmation will pop up with instructions to verify your email address. Once you have verified your email address you can immediately start using your free account!
