Welcome to your Similarity Check user account!

When your organization signs up for Similarity Check, a central contact at your organization will become your Similarity Check account administrator. They will set up all the users on your account.

When your administrator adds you as a user, you’ll receive an email from noreply@ithenticate.com with the subject line “Account Created” containing a username and a single-use password. You may only log in once with the single-use password, and you must change it the first time you log in.

Log in to your user account (v1)

1. Start from the link in the invitation email from noreply@ithenticate.com with the subject line “Account Created” and click Login
2. Enter your username and single-use password
3. Click to agree to the terms of the end-user license agreement. These terms govern your personal use of the service. They’re separate from the central Similarity Check service agreement that your organization has agreed to.
