We're happy to see you may be signing up for a Padlet account! Welcome! 👋
So, you clicked Sign up, entered your email address and pressed Continue. One of three things must have happened:
- You were taken to a place to enter your desired password and finish setting up your account. Yay! It worked!
- The 'Email is taken' error message was displayed.
- A pop-up appeared welcoming you back to Padlet.
Because this is about troubleshooting and error messages - we will focus on the last two possibilities.

Otherwise, you will need to use a different email to sign up for a new account.
