Sign in or create an account

Click the Crosscheck icon in your toolbar to open the extension popup. You will be prompted to sign in. You can:

  • Sign in with Google — One-click authentication using your Google account.
  • Sign in with email — Enter your email address and you will receive a one-time passcode (OTP). No password required.

If you do not have an account yet, one will be created automatically when you sign in for the first time.

You're all set
Once signed in, the extension popup will show your capture options. Navigate to any web page and you are ready to create your first capture. Head to the First Capture guide to get started.

Troubleshooting

The extension icon does not appear

Make sure you have pinned the extension (Step 3 above). If you still do not see it, visit chrome://extensions and verify that Crosscheck is listed and enabled.

Extension installed but captures fail

Some pages restrict extension access, including Chrome internal pages (chrome://), the Chrome Web Store, and other extension popups. Try capturing on a regular web page instead. See the Extension Issues guide for more help.
