# Create an Account

Creating an Archer account takes about 30 seconds. There's no KYC, no seed phrase to write down, and no wallet extension to install.

## Sign Up

1. Go to [app.archerprotocol.com](https://app.archerprotocol.com)
2. Choose how you want to sign in:
   * **Email** — magic link sent to your inbox
   * **Google** — single-tap OAuth
   * **Apple** — single-tap OAuth (iOS / macOS)
   * **Wallet** — connect an existing wallet (MetaMask, Phantom, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, etc.) and sign a message to prove ownership
3. Confirm the sign-in challenge

That's it. You're in.

## What Happens Behind the Scenes

When your account is created, Archer (via [Privy](https://docs.privy.io/)) automatically provisions two embedded wallets for you:

* A **primary EVM wallet** that works on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, and BSC
* A **primary Solana wallet** that works on Solana mainnet

These wallets are non-custodial. The private keys are generated and stored inside Privy's infrastructure (in a Trusted Execution Environment) — Archer's backend never sees them, never holds them, and never has the ability to move funds without your approval.

You can find your wallet addresses on the **Settings** page under **Security & Authentication**, labeled **Primary**.

## Sign-in Methods That Are Disabled (And Why)

We deliberately do not support:

* **SMS / phone sign-in** — SIM-swap attacks are a real and growing threat for crypto users. Phone-based authentication is too easy to hijack.

We do support, on top of the methods above:

* **Passkeys** — once you're signed in, you can add a passkey for instant biometric login (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello).
* **MFA** — second-factor authentication for account-level operations.

## Next

* [Manage Your Wallet](/archer.bot/getting-started/manage-your-wallet.md) — link external wallets, enable server signing, security model
* [Fund Your Account](/archer.bot/getting-started/fund-your-account.md) — get tokens into your Archer wallet

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://archer-bot.gitbook.io/archer.bot/getting-started/create-an-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
