Dryad requires an ORCID ID for login. If you do not have an ORCID, you will have the opportunity to create a free, unique, identifier for yourself at the login page. Dryad uses ORCID to authenticate each individual researcher regardless method for entering Dryad (i.e. through the website, through the API, through a journal integration, etc.). When datasets are published, they should appear in your ORCID profile along with articles and other works.
Enter your ORCID ID or email address and your ORCID password and click the "Sign into ORCID" button. If you do not have an ORCID ID, you can click the "Register Now" link to sign up. Click the "Authorize" button to connect your ORCID ID to your Dryad account. In the future, you will be able to login to Dryad using only your ORCID ID and password.
Dryad requires a second form of authentication at login for campus single-sign-on. This authentication only needs to occur the first time you enter your account, After you have logged in with your institutional credentials, Dryad ties together your ORCID and institutional affiliation so that you will not have to include this information a second time.
