# Create your account

Helios is currently **invite-only**. Account creation starts from an invite link.

## Step by step

1. **Open your invite link.** It takes you to the Helios onboarding screen.
2. **Set up your passkey.** Your device creates a passkey (using Face ID, Touch ID, or your device PIN). This passkey is how you'll sign in and approve actions — there's no password to remember. See [Passkeys & account recovery](/getting-started/passkeys-and-recovery.md).
3. **Your wallet is created.** Helios sets up a self-custodial wallet tied to your passkey. This happens automatically.
4. **You're in.** You'll land on your dashboard, where you can add funds, open a credit line, and apply for a card.

Use a device and browser you trust and will keep access to. Your passkey is the key to your account.
{% endhint %}

## Frequently asked

### Do I need an invite?

Yes, for now. Helios is rolling out gradually. If you don't have an invite link, you can't create an account yet.

### Do I need to create a password?

No. Helios uses **passkeys** instead of passwords. Your device handles the security.

### Can I use Helios on more than one device?

Yes. If your passkey is synced through your password manager (iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager), the same account is available on your other devices. If it isn't synced, use account recovery — see [Passkeys & account recovery](/getting-started/passkeys-and-recovery.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.helioscard.xyz/getting-started/create-your-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
