Steps

Steps marked “human step” are ones only you can do: verapli never signs in, submits, pays or accepts terms for you.

  1. Sign up for Stytch

    The person signs up on the Stytch dashboard. verapli never creates the account.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit

    Where: https://stytch.com/dashboard

  2. Create the project

    Create a project and choose Consumer Auth or Multi-tenant (B2B) Auth; the type decides which API and SDKs apply.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit
    • After: Sign up for Stytch
  3. Copy project ID and secret

    In the Project & API keys section copy the project ID and secret for the Test environment (development) or Live (production). verapli captures the secret into STYTCH_SECRET.

    • verapli co-pilot
    • After: Create the project

    verapli captures STYTCH_SECRET here by plain code: encrypted in your browser, never shown to AI.

    Where: https://stytch.com/dashboard

Terms and gotchas
