Use a personal email address that you expect to control as your employment and Account memberships change.

Your Socra ID belongs to you. It is the identity you use across Socra, including every Account you join. Your email is the verified sign-in and recovery address attached to it. We use that address to verify a new Socra ID, send email sign-in codes, and reset your password.

If your employer controls the address and disables it, you may lose access to those messages and be unable to recover your Socra ID.

Your company controls access to its resources through your Account membership. An Account owner can change or remove that membership without owning or deleting your Socra ID.

Your company can still send an Account invitation to your work address. You can accept it while signed in to the Socra ID you already own. The invitation address delivers the invitation. Your Account membership records your relationship with the company.
