With Google or Apple

Google or Apple confirms who you are, and Gancho takes your name and email from them. There is no password to make up. With Apple you can choose Hide My Email: Apple gives Gancho a private address that forwards to yours, and that becomes a separate Gancho account from one you made with your real email.

If you already have a Gancho account with the same email, you are signed in to it, and you can use either way from then on.

The password

At least 8 characters. That is the only rule. The bar and the word under the box tell you how strong it is as you type, and the eye button at the end of the box shows what you typed so you can check it.

This didn't answer it?

Ask the coach: the round button at the bottom right of the app. It knows your jobs and your resume, and it can walk you through any of this.
