{% step %}

### Register an account

Go to the [registration page](https://akiraghost.com/register) and fill in:

* **Email address** — a valid address you can access.
* **Username** — a unique username using uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and the underscore (`_`).
* **Password** — a secure password you'll remember. You'll use it to log in to all of our products.

Then click **Register**.

By registering, you confirm you're at least **16 years old** and you agree to our [Terms of Service](/policies/tos-term-of-service.md) and [Privacy Policy](/policies/privacy-policy.md). Use **one account per person** — see [Account Suspension](/faq/general-questions/user-account/account-suspension.md) for the rules on multiple accounts.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Verify your email

Check your inbox for the verification message and follow the instructions inside to activate your account. This keeps your account secure and helps us prevent unauthorized access.

#### Didn't get the verification email?

Give it a minute, then check your **spam** or **junk** folder. Confirm you entered your email address correctly when you registered. If it still hasn't arrived, reach us on our [Discord server](https://akiraghost.com/discord) and we'll verify your account manually.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Log in

Go to the [login page](https://akiraghost.com/login), enter your registered email or username and your password, then click **Login**.
