# Getting started

> Sign in to Confiroll with a Stellar wallet or with your email, and land in the right app for your role.

Confiroll has one sign-in for everyone. Whether you pay contractors or get paid, you sign in
the same way, and Confiroll works out your role from your data rather than from a choice on a
login screen. Pick the method that fits you: connect a Stellar wallet you already use, or sign
in with just an email address and let Confiroll create a wallet for you.

## Two ways to sign in

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Stellar wallet" icon="wallet">
    Connect Freighter, xBull, Albedo, or any other wallet supported by Stellar Wallets Kit.
    You prove ownership by signing a challenge, and nothing reaches Confiroll but the
    signature.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Email" icon="envelope">
    Sign in with just an email address. An embedded wallet is created for you behind the
    scenes, so you need no browser extension and no seed phrase.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Sign in with a Stellar wallet

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the wallet picker">
    Select Connect Stellar wallet. A picker opens, powered by Stellar Wallets Kit, listing
    every wallet it detects on your device.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your wallet">
    Pick your wallet and approve the connection request it shows. Confiroll receives your
    public account, and nothing secret ever leaves the wallet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign the SEP-10 challenge">
    Confiroll asks your wallet to sign a one-time login challenge, following the SEP-10
    standard for signing in with a Stellar account. This is a signature only: it proves you
    control the account, moves no funds, and costs nothing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Land in your dashboard">
    Confiroll issues a short-lived session and takes you straight to the app that matches your
    role.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Freighter, xBull, and Albedo all work, alongside the other wallets that Stellar Wallets Kit
  supports. Confiroll uses your wallet's normal transaction-signing to sign the challenge, not
  the auth-entry signing that some wallets do not support, so the flow stays consistent across
  wallets.
</Note>

## Sign in with email

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter your email">
    Select the email option. A secure sign-in window opens, powered by Privy, and you enter
    your address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the code">
    Privy sends a one-time code to your inbox. Enter it to verify the address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your embedded wallet is created">
    Behind the scenes you get a Stellar wallet tied to your login, with no seed phrase to
    write down and no extension to install.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You're in">
    Confiroll verifies your login, starts your session, and routes you to the right app.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What happens after you sign in

Confiroll reads your account and routes you automatically. If you run payroll, you land in the
employer app. If you were invited to get paid, you land in the contractor portal. Some people
are both, and the same account carries both views.

* If you run payroll, head to the [Employer guide](/guide/employer/overview).
* If you were invited to get paid, head to the [Contractor guide](/guide/contractor/overview).

Your session lasts about an hour of activity, then you sign in again with the same method. You
never re-enter a secret to keep working, and signing out ends the session cleanly.

<Warning>
  Confiroll never asks for your seed phrase or private key, and never stores them. If anything
  ever asks you to paste a secret key into Confiroll, that is not Confiroll.
</Warning>

## Frequently asked

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Which wallets are supported?">
    Freighter, xBull, and Albedo work out of the box, along with the other wallets that
    Stellar Wallets Kit supports. The wallet picker lists whatever it detects on your device,
    so you choose from what you already have installed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need XLM to sign in or to get paid?">
    No. Signing in is a signature, not a transaction, so it costs nothing. Every on-chain
    action after that is fee-sponsored, so sending, receiving, and withdrawing all cost you 0
    XLM. You never need to hold gas. Confiroll runs on the Stellar testnet, so payouts use
    test USDC while you explore.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is email sign-in safe, and where is my wallet?">
    Yes. With email sign-in, an embedded wallet is created and its keys stay on your device,
    derived from your login. Confiroll holds zero keys either way, so it cannot move your
    funds or read your amounts whether you connect a wallet or use email.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I be both an employer and a contractor?">
    Yes. Role comes from your data, not from a separate account, so a single sign-in can carry
    both the employer app and the contractor portal. Confiroll shows you whichever view fits
    what you are doing.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I sign in on a new device?">
    Use the same method. Connect the same wallet, or sign in with the same email, and your
    keys are reconstructed locally on the new device. Your confidential balance decrypts again
    from chain state, because nothing was ever stored on Confiroll's side to move across.
