How to create an OpenSesame account

Note: If you access OpenSesame through a window in a learning platform, sign in to your platform and open the integration there instead.

To create an OpenSesame account, visit www.opensesame.com and select Login.

A new tab opens. Select Sign up. 

Note: To connect a Google account and always use it to sign in, select Sign in with Google instead. After you complete Google’s steps, you reach OpenSesame's Terms of Use page.

Enter the following information:

1. Email address
2. First name
3. Last name
4. Company name
5. A password

The password needs: 

• At least 12 characters.
• No more than 72 characters.

For greater security, use a long password that includes symbols.

When finished, select Create account.

Next, verify your email address. Check the inbox for the address you entered.

The verification email comes from info@idp.opensesame.com with the subject “Welcome to OpenSesame.”

Note: If the email doesn’t arrive, check your spam folder. If it's not there either, confirm with your IT team that emails from info@idp.opensesame.com are allowed.

Select the Verify your email button. The link expires in 15 minutes. (If the link expires before you use it, return to the login page and enter your email address to send a new one.)

The link may open one of two pages:

1. A Terms of Use page.
2. A verification code.

If you receive a verification code:

1. Return to the previous page.
2. Select Enter a verification code instead.
3. Enter the code and select Verify email. 
4. This leads to the Terms of Use page.

On the Terms of Use page, review OpenSesame's terms of use and privacy policy. To continue, select each, then select Accept Terms.

This signs you in and opens the OpenSesame catalog. Your account is created!

From here, you can browse courses or open the account menu to explore your dashboard.
