Sign up

You can create a Corte account with your email and a password, or with your Apple or Google account. Corte has one kind of account: everyone who signs up sees only their own cards.

Sign up with email

1. Open Corte. The first time, the introduction opens: tap Skip, or Get started on its last slide. The Welcome screen appears.
2. Tap Sign up with email. The Create your account screen opens.
3. In Email, type your email address.
4. In Password, type a password of at least 10 characters. Tap Show to see what you typed, and Hide to hide it again.
5. Tap Create account.
6. The Check your email screen opens and reads “Enter the 6-digit code we sent to” followed by your address. Corte has emailed you a code.
7. Open the email with the subject “Your Corte verification code” and copy the 6-digit code.
8. Back in Corte, type the code in the six boxes, one digit each. You can also paste the whole code. On many devices the keyboard offers the code from the email or message, so you can tap it instead of typing.
9. Tap Verify.

Corte signs you in and opens your Cards list. See Cards to add your first card.

By creating an account you accept the terms and the privacy policy, as the note under the Create account button says.

The verification code

• The code has 6 digits.
• It expires 15 minutes after it was sent, and works only once.
• After 3 wrong attempts the code stops working, and you need a new one.
• A new code replaces the old one. Use the code from the most recent email.

Get a new code

Under the Verify button is a link that counts down, for example Send a new code (in 0:45). When the countdown ends it reads Send a new code.

1. Wait until the link reads Send a new code.
2. Tap it. The message “If an account exists for this address, we sent a code.” appears, and the countdown starts again.
3. Use the code from the new email.

Sign up with Apple or Google

The Welcome screen can also show Continue with Apple and Continue with Google.

• Continue with Apple appears on iPhone and iPad only.
• Continue with Google appears on iPhone, iPad and Android.
• A button appears only when this way of signing in is available for your Corte service. If you don’t see either button, sign up with email.

1. Tap Continue with Apple or Continue with Google.
2. Follow the Apple or Google screen that opens and choose your account.
3. Corte signs you in and opens your Cards list.

There’s no verification code with Apple or Google. If you already have a Corte account with the same verified email address, you sign in to that same account.

If you close the Apple or Google screen without choosing an account, nothing happens and you stay on the Welcome screen.

FAQ

I didn’t get the code

The code is sent by email to the address you typed, and can take a minute to arrive.

1. Check that the address on the Check your email screen is right. If it isn’t, go back and sign up again with the right address.
2. Look in your spam or junk folder for “Your Corte verification code”.
3. When the link reads Send a new code, tap it to get a new email.

Corte sends at most 3 codes to one address in an hour, counting the one sent when you signed up. After that it shows “Too many attempts. Try again in 1 hour.” Wait, then ask for a new code.

I closed the app before entering the code

Your account exists but isn’t verified yet. Open Corte, tap Sign in, and sign in with the same email and password. Corte sends you a new code and opens the Check your email screen.

Corte says it sent a code, but I already have an account

For your privacy, Corte shows the same messages whether or not an address already has an account. If you already have one, use Sign in, or Forgot password if you don’t remember the password.

Can I change the language?

The app follows your device’s language: Spanish when the device is set to Spanish, English otherwise. To change it, change your device’s language.
