If your students don't have email addresses, or you'd rather hand out logins than walk a class through sign-up, you can create their accounts yourself. Each account is ready to use the moment you create it and is already in your class. You'll get a list of usernames and passwords to give out.

There are two ways to do it on the Create Student Accounts page: Numbered accounts (one name plus a number, like Apple01, Apple02) and Individual accounts (you pick each student's username, and optionally their password).

Available on: every plan, including Free.

Before you start: if a student already has an Intertwined account, don't make them a new one. Share your class code with them instead so they keep one login and all their work. See Inviting students with your class code or join link.

Choose Numbered accounts or Individual accounts at the top of the page. You can switch back and forth; anything you've typed in the individual list stays put.

This is the fastest way to set up a whole class. Every student gets the same base name followed by a two-digit number, and Intertwined generates a password for each one.

With a base of "Apple", you'd get Apple01, Apple02, Apple03 and so on, each with a password made of a word, a symbol and three digits, like Tape-139.

Good to know: numbering always starts at 01. If you come back later to add students to the same class, use a different base name (for example AppleB), or you'll see a message that one or more of the requested usernames already exists. The same message appears if anyone, anywhere in Intertwined, already uses one of the names, because usernames are unique across the whole site.

Choose this when you want usernames students will remember, such as their own names, or when your school has a username format you need to follow.

Already have the list in a spreadsheet? Click Paste a list, paste one student per line, and click Add students. To set a password, put it after a comma or tab on the same line; two columns copied from a spreadsheet work as they are. Lines without a password get a generated one, and a first line that says "username" is skipped.

Intertwined checks every username as you type and shows the result under the box:

Passwords you type need at least 8 characters with an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number and a symbol. If one falls short, the row tells you what's missing, for example "Needs a number and a symbol."

You can create up to 40 accounts at a time. Blank rows are skipped. If any row still needs fixing when you click create, nothing is created and the rows to fix are highlighted, so you never end up with half a class.

After you create accounts, the Student Accounts Created page lists each Username, Password and Status. Success means the account is ready. If any row says Failed, that account wasn't created; create it again.

Important: passwords are shown only once. Neither you nor we can look them up later. Before you click Done:

Students go to https://app.intertwinedfinance.com/login, type their username in Email or username, enter their password, and click Log in. There's no email to confirm, so they can start right away. If they're stuck, Logging in to Intertwined walks them through it.

A new account's name starts out as the username plus the word "Student", so Apple01 appears as "Apple01 Student" (or "Student, Apple01" on your Students tab, which lists last names first). Students can put their real name in: they click their name at the bottom of the sidebar, click Edit profile, change First name and Last name, and click Save changes. Ask them to do this on day one so your roster and gradebook read clearly.

No. Passwords appear only on the page right after you create the accounts and in the spreadsheet you download. If a student forgets theirs and you don't have the file, contact us; Helping a student with a forgotten password, username, or email explains what to send.

Create them in batches. For numbered accounts, give the second batch a new base name. For individual accounts, create the first 40, then come back for the rest.

Usernames are shared across every school that uses Intertwined, so common names like "student1" or "alex" are usually gone. Add a number, a period or your school's initials.

Yes. They log in, click Join a class on their dashboard and enter the other class's code. Their account and progress in your class stay as they are.

Remove them from your roster on the Students tab (see Removing students and students in more than one class). That takes them out of your class. If you also want the accounts themselves deleted, contact us.
