Onboarding

Accept an invitation

Open the invitation link, confirm the email address shown, and choose a password when prompted. An invitation link is personal and expires 7 days after it is sent; if it no longer works, ask your Client Admin or the person who sent the invitation for a new invitation.

• If your organization shares a general join link, open it and enter your email, password and password confirmation. The link creates a regular account in that organization without an email confirmation, then signs you in to continue onboarding. If you already have an account, sign in with your existing password.

1. Open the invitation link from the message you received.
2. Confirm the email address shown and choose a password.
3. Continue to onboarding when account setup is complete.

Sign in

Sign in with the email address associated with your account and your password. The invitation link is for setup; it is not your everyday sign-in method. If you have forgotten your password, use the password-reset option on the sign-in page.

• Never share your password or invitation link.
• Use a work address if your organization requires it.
• Sign out on shared devices.
• Sessions last up to 14 days; after that you'll be asked to sign in again.

1. Open the Stride sign-in page.
2. Enter the email address associated with your account and your password.
3. Choose the password-reset option on the sign-in page if you cannot remember your password.

Your first steps after sign-in

Onboarding is a short sequence that explains the assessment, the privacy choices that apply to it, and what happens next. Follow the steps shown rather than skipping ahead: the assessment leads to a personal reveal, the reveal leads to a goal, and the goal leads to a first challenge before the dashboard.

What onboarding covers

The exact screens can vary with the account setup your organization has chosen, but the first-user path stays focused on the same practical handoff: understand the privacy notice, answer the assessment, review the reveal, choose a goal, and complete one first challenge before the dashboard.

• Read the notice presented before the assessment and make an informed choice before continuing.
• Answer the assessment questions in the format shown for your account.
• Use the reveal and goal picker to choose a direction you can apply to real work.
• Finish the first challenge, then use the dashboard to continue.
