Getting started and signing in
Create an account
- Open the shop and choose Create an account on the sign-in page.
- Pick a username, enter your email address and a password of at least 10 characters.
- Sign in with your new username and password.
The shop sends booking and reservation confirmations to your email address.
Use an address you read, or one ending in .test if you only want to try
things out: those are never sent.
Signing in
Signing in gives this browser tab its own API key, a long secret code that the page sends with every request. It is kept in the tab only:
- It is forgotten when you close the tab.
- It expires after one day; then the shop asks you to sign in again.
- Every tab signs in on its own, so signing out in one tab does not sign you out in another.
Log out (top right) cancels this tab's key at once. On a shared computer, always log out.
