If you're new to Blink, begin by downloading the Blink app. Once you have installed the app, you can proceed with creating an account.
Creating a Blink account
With Blink, you have one user account with one email address and phone number. Upon login and certain other actions, a verification number is sent to the mobile number or email address associated with the account.
Note: If you want to share your account with other users, learn more about setting up a second phone or device.
To get started with the Blink app:
- Launch the Blink app and tap Create Account at the bottom of the screen.
- Select your country from the drop-down menu and tap Next.
- Your region is pre-selected based on your IP address. Confirm your region and tap OK.
- Enter a valid email address, and tap Next.
- Create a password and tap Create Account. The password requirements are listed at the bottom of the screen. Tap the eyeball icon to display what you are typing.
- Enter the 6-digit verification code you received via email, then tap Verify.
- Add a phone number to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA). Choose to receive verification codes via text or voice call. Tap Next.
- Enter the 6-digit verification code you received via SMS/voice call, then tap Verify. If you don't receive a verification code, wait 90 seconds and tap Resend code. If verification failed, tap Try Again.
- Tap Agree and Continue to link your Amazon and Blink accounts, or tap Skip in the top right to bypass this step.
After successfully completing all required steps, you'll be logged in to your Blink account. If you experience issues or require assistance in creating an account, contact Blink Support.
