Get started in minutes
Creating your account takes just a few steps and gives you full control over your devices from any browser or mobile device.
Navigate to the dashboard
Visit researchanddesire.com and click Login in the top right corner. This takes you to the dashboard at dashboard.researchanddesire.com.
Register for an account
On the sign-in screen, click Register at the bottom. Enter your email address and create a secure password.
You can also sign up using one of our social login options for faster access.
Confirm your email
After submitting the registration form, check your inbox for a confirmation
email from app@researchanddesire.com. Click the link in the email to verify
your account.
Complete onboarding
Follow the guided onboarding flow to configure the basics of your account. Once complete, you're ready to start controlling your devices.
Your account is now set up and ready to use.
Troubleshooting
If the confirmation email doesn't arrive within a few minutes:
- Check your spam or junk folder — Emails from
app@researchanddesire.commay be filtered - Verify your email address — Re-register if you may have entered a typo
- Try a different email provider — Some corporate or custom domain email servers may block or delay automated emails. If you're having trouble, try registering with a common provider (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) and then change your email address after logging in
If you registered with a temporary email and want to switch to your preferred address, you can update it anytime from Profile > Private Details > Change Email.
Hi there, I'm going to show you how to log into our dashboard so that you can start controlling your devices from anywhere in the world.
I'm going to start today at www.researchanddesire.com, and in the top right I'm going to click on the login button. This will take me to dashboard.researchanddesire.com.
You can do the same process on your phone or your desktop, but today I'm using my desktop. It will show you the sign-in screen, where if you already have an account, you can enter your username, password, or any of our social login options.
I'm going to pretend I don't have an account, so I'm going to click on register at the bottom, and here I will enter a new email address and a secure password.
When I register or submit the form, I'll be asked to confirm my email address. And right here I see a new email from app at researchanddesire.com.
I'll follow the link. And perfect. I'm going to be guided through our onboarding flow, where I'll be able to set up the basics of my account.
That's it. See you soon.
