  1. To create an Aleph account, go to aleph.occrp.org and click on Sign In in the upper right-hand corner.

  2. You will be redirected to the OCCRP Secure Sign-in page. Once there, click on New user? Register.

For security reasons, Aleph requires you to have an authentication application installed, which works as a two-step verification to log in to the account. We recommend using the free Google Authenticator application, which can be downloaded directly from your device’s app store.
