# Sign Up & Wallet

Signing up on Probly takes less than a minute. **Log In** and **Sign Up** open the same modal — the first time you use a method we create your account; after that, the same method logs you in.

## Sign-In Methods

Probly supports five sign-in methods, powered by [Privy](https://privy.io/) for identity and embedded wallets.

### Crypto Wallet

Connect a self-custodied wallet. You hold your own keys and sign every transaction.

* **MetaMask** · **Coinbase Wallet** · **Phantom** · **Uniswap Wallet**

### Email

No wallet? Sign in with your email — Privy creates a secure **embedded wallet** for you. No seed phrase, no extension.

* Enter your email → receive a one-time code
* A wallet is provisioned and recoverable via your email

## Account Security

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Never share** your seed phrase, private key, or email verification code. Probly will never ask for them via DM, email, or Discord.
{% endhint %}

* Keep your email account secure — we send one-time codes there to log you in
* For self-custody wallets, back up your seed phrase offline
* Always verify you're on **probly.com** before connecting your wallet
* Report suspicious activity to **<support@probly.com>**

## Next Steps

* [Deposits & Withdrawals](/get-started/deposits-and-withdrawals.md) — fund your account with USDC
* [Making Your First Trade](/get-started/first-trade.md) — place your first order
