1

Create Your Account

Sign up for CVSEEYOU using your work email or Single Sign-On (SSO). You'll be the organization admin by default.

Google SSO

Sign in with your Google Workspace account

GitHub SSO

Sign in with your GitHub account

Step-by-step

  1. 1 Navigate to cvseeyou.com/auth
  2. 2 Enter your work email and create a strong password (or use SSO)
  3. 3 Check your inbox and click the verification link
  4. 4 Complete your organization profile (company name, industry)

Pro Tip

Use your work email domain (e.g., @yourcompany.com) so your team members can easily join your organization later.

2

Verify Your Domain

Before scanning, you must prove domain ownership. This is a security requirement that prevents unauthorized scanning of third-party assets.

DNS TXT Record

Recommended

Add a TXT record to your domain's DNS configuration. Fastest and most reliable method.

cvseeyou-verify=abc123xyz

HTML File

Alternative

Upload a verification file to your website root. Good if you don't have DNS access.

/.well-known/cvseeyou.txt

Important

DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally. If verification fails, wait a few hours and try again.
