Sign up & sign in

Aquilla runs in your browser at aquilla.app: there’s nothing to download or install.

Creating an account

Choose Sign up free on aquilla.app and the onboarding wizard walks you to the account step (labelled Create your Frontier account). There you’ll choose a username and give an email address and a password.

The sign-up step: the checklist below the password field ticks off each requirement as you type.

As you type a password, Aquilla shows a live checklist with the two things it asks for:

• at least 8 characters, and
• that it doesn’t contain your email.

Alongside that, a strength meter reads weak → medium → strong. Longer passwords, and ones with numbers and symbols, score higher, so you can watch yours get stronger. You can also reveal what you’ve typed to catch typos before you submit.

Signing in

Return to aquilla.app any time, choose Open app, and sign in with your username or email and password. Your session keeps you signed in across visits on the same device and browser.

If you enter the wrong password too many times in a row, Aquilla briefly locks out further attempts on that account as a security measure: wait a few minutes and try again. See Common issues.

The sign-in screen. New here? The Create an account link takes you to the same sign-up wizard.

Resetting a forgotten password

If you can’t remember your password, use the Forgot password? link on the sign-in screen. Aquilla emails you a reset link; follow it to choose a new password (the same strength checklist applies), and you’ll be signed back in. Resetting your password also signs out any other device or browser tab that was signed into your account. If you use Aquilla in more than one place, you’ll need to sign in again there too.

Enter the email you registered with and choose Send reset link.

Switching between accounts on one device

Translation teams often share a device, and project managers sometimes need to demo several projects under different accounts. Aquilla supports multiple accounts on one device with one-click switching, no signing out and back in each time.

Each account keeps its own local settings and cached projects, so switching accounts gives you a clean, separate workspace.

Note

Account switching keeps each account’s data separate in this browser. View preferences and “resume where I left off” are stored per account and per device; they don’t follow you to a different computer. See View settings.

Joining from an invite

If someone invites you to a project or organization and you’re signed out when you open the link, the join page lets you sign in with an existing account, or switch to “Need an account? Sign up” and “Create an account to accept your invitation” right there. If the invite was sent to your email, that email is pre-filled for you.

What’s next

Once you’re signed in, Aquilla walks you through a short setup. See Your first project.
