Making an account
Signing up is quick, but three of the steps decide whether your account stays safe for good. Do them right the first time.
- Open a real address, checked against the login screen.
- Pick a username you have never used anywhere. A reused one links this to your real trail.
- Let your password manager make and keep a unique password.
- Write down the recovery words the market shows you, on paper, offline.
- Turn on PGP login right away, so a stolen password alone is not enough.
Remember
No real sign-up or login ever asks you to type the recovery words back in to get in. A page that does is a fake.Updated 2026-07-18
