Creating a Linity account is pretty simple. Simply visit the [Linity page](https://linity.com/), and locate the “**Connect**” button on the top right. Click on it to see the multiple ways you can create your Linity account very easily.&#x20;

In addition to the Connect button, you will find other buttons on Linity that give you a quick access to create an account if you do not have one yet.

One of such buttons is the “**Open free account**” button that can be found easily on the Linity homepage for users who are not logged in.

You can create (sign up for) new accounts using the following options:

* Use a **Gmail** account
* Use a **Discord** account
* Use an **X** (formerly Twitter) account, or
* Use a **MetaMask** Wallet

You will need to have an account with one of the apps listed above, and then you can sign up for Linity easily using one of the options. Once you have decided which way to sign up for your account, click on the appropriate button and follow the prompts to complete your account set up.

Right after you account is created, you are automatically logged in to Linity and the “**Connect**” button becomes a “[**My Profile**](/linity/my-profile/what-is-my-profile.md)” Button.&#x20;

The “**Open free account**” button also changes.

You will also notice a **“**[**Badge**](/linity/my-profile/badges.md)**”** icon that shows you how many badges you have unlocked.&#x20;
