It requires two-step verification via email only the first time a user logs in.

The user needs to go through the steps below to activate the app using Email and password login.

1. Open the app and click on Get Started.
   
   
2. Click on Log in manually, enter your email address and click on Continue.
   
   
3. 3. Set up a new password for your account, accept the Privacy Policy terms and click on Sign up.
   
   
4. Log into your Mail app on your device and open the activation email sent to you.
   
   
5. Click on the unique activation link to initiate the activation process.
   
   
6. You will get a list of events your email address is registered for. Click on an event to get access to it.

After the initial activation of the user account, email verification is no longer required.

Requirements
