Google sign-in is a fast alternative to creating an email and password — but for new accounts, it's important to choose the right account type before you click the button.
Signing up new with Google
On the sign-up page, select Traveler or Guide first, then choose Continue with Google. Whichever tab is selected is the type of account that gets created. If you'd rather sign up as a guide, make sure the Guide tab is selected before continuing with Google — starting from the general sign-in page instead will create a traveler account by default.
Signing in with an existing Google account
If you already have an account, use Continue with Google on the sign-in page. This signs you into your existing account with whichever role it already has — traveler or guide — without asking you to choose again.
No security check needed
Because Google has already verified your identity and email address, you won't be asked to complete the on-site security check or a separate email confirmation when using Google.
