<p>To get started with GitHub.com, you need to a personal account and a verified email address.</p>
<p>When creating a free account on GitHub.com, you can also authenticate with Google or Apple - which are the supported social login providers.
For iOS users, even if you have enabled the setting &quot;Hide My Email addresses&quot; for your Apple account, using social login will result in creating a new GitHub account.</p>
<p>Every person who uses GitHub signs in to a user account. Your user account is your identity on GitHub and has a username and profile. For example, see <a href="https://github.com/octocat">@octocat&#x27;s profile</a>.</p>
<p>Later, you can explore the different types of accounts that GitHub offers, and decide if you need a billing plan. For more information, see <a href="/en/get-started/learning-about-github/types-of-github-accounts">Types of GitHub accounts</a> and <a href="/en/get-started/learning-about-github/githubs-plans">GitHub&#x27;s plans</a>.</p>

<ol>
<li>Navigate to <a href="https://github.com/signup?ref_product=github&amp;ref_type=engagement&amp;ref_style=text">https://github.com/signup</a>.</li>
<li>Alternatively, click on <strong>Continue with Google</strong> to sign up using social login.</li>
<li>Follow the prompts to create your personal account.</li>
</ol>
<p>During sign up, you&#x27;ll be asked to verify your email address. Without a verified email address, you won&#x27;t be able to complete some basic GitHub tasks, such as creating a repository.</p>
<p>Some enterprises create managed user accounts for their users. You can&#x27;t sign up for a personal account with an email address that&#x27;s already verified for a managed user account.</p>
<p>If you&#x27;re having problems verifying your email address, there are some troubleshooting steps you can take. For more information, see <a href="/en/account-and-profile/how-tos/email-preferences/troubleshooting-email-verification">Troubleshooting email verification</a>.</p>

<p>We strongly recommend that you configure 2FA for your account. 2FA is an extra layer of security that can help keep your account secure.
