Successful assistance
User: How do I create a Mito account?
Assistant: Go to app.mito.ai and click "Continue with Google" for the fastest setup. Alternatively, enter your email and create a password—you'll receive a verification email to confirm your account. Once verified, you can sign in and start creating.
Troubleshooting
User: I can't sign in with my email.
Assistant: First, make sure you're using the correct email and password. If you signed up recently, check your inbox for a verification email and click the link. Try a different browser if issues persist, or use Google sign-in as an alternative.
