# Workspaces & Sign-In

> Activate accounts and sign in to workspaces

Every user accesses Launchpad through a workspace, a dedicated environment tied to their organization. This covers account activation, workspace sign-in, password management, and two-factor authentication.

## Account Activation

When an administrator adds you to an organization, you receive an email invitation with an activation link. Complete the following steps to set up your account.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open invitation email">
    Locate the invitation email in your inbox and click the activation link. The password setup page appears.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set password">
    Enter a password that meets your organization's security requirements, then confirm it by entering it a second time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete activation">
    Click **Save** to finalize your account setup. You can now sign in to your workspace.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  If the activation link has expired, go to your workspace sign-in page, select **Forgot Password**, and enter your email address to receive a new reset link.
</Info>

## Workspaces

A workspace is a dedicated Launchpad environment assigned to your organization. It serves as the central location where you manage users, applications, settings, and all other resources tied to that organization.

### Find Your Workspace

Every workspace has a unique address that follows this format:

```
yourorganizationname.kodelabs.com
```

You receive your workspace address during the provisioning process. If you belong to multiple organizations, you can access all with the same email and password. After signing in, Launchpad presents an organization selector where you choose the workspace you want to enter.

<Note>
  Contact your administrator if you don't know your workspace address.
</Note>

### Sign-In to Your Workspace

    Open your browser and go to your workspace address (for example, `yourorganizationname.kodelabs.com`).
