#### Step-by-step plan

1. Open the email and copy or note the invitation code.
2. In the email, click the button 'Activate employee portal'.
3. Enter the invitation code and click 'Submit'.
4. Enter your date of birth and click 'Validate'.
5. Choose a new password, enter it twice and click 'Create'.
6. Your account has now been created. Log in immediately with your email address and new password.

#### Set up security (2FA)

You must now add extra security to your account (Two-factor authentication).

7. Scan the QR code shown on the screen with the Authenticator app on your phone.
   * *Need help installing?*
     * [Install Authenticator app on iPhone](/hulp-medewerkers/hulp-voor-medewerkers-en/medewerkers/log-in/install-authenticator-app-on-iphone.md)
     * [Install and set up Authenticator app on Android](/hulp-medewerkers/hulp-voor-medewerkers-en/medewerkers/log-in/install-and-set-up-authenticator-app-on-android.md)
8. Enter the 6-digit code that appears in the app and click 'Confirm Authenticator'.

Prefer to receive an SMS? Don't have an app at hand? Then click the link on the screen: *'click here to receive an SMS'*.

9. Finally enter the verification code (from the app or the SMS) and click Log in.

***

Not working?

* No SMS? Is the code not arriving at step 8? Then there is probably an incorrect number in the system. Ask your employer to correct this.
* Error message: Are you getting an error with the invitation code? Check that you haven't copied an extra space.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://service.zekerarbo.nl/hulp-medewerkers/hulp-voor-medewerkers-en/medewerkers/first-time-using-the-portal/activate-employee-portal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
