Create an online account

Some online account service providers allow you to create an account while adding it to Online Accounts. This allows you to manage all your online accounts from one application.

  1. Open the Activities overview and start typing Online Accounts.

  2. Click on Online Accounts to open the panel.

  3. Click +.

  4. Select the type of account which you want to add. Some account types may not be available.

  5. If the service allows you to create an account, you should see more information on how to do this.

    Not all online account providers offer the option to create an account at this stage. If this is true of the service you wish to register, you will need to use an alternative method to create an account.

  6. Fill in the registration form. You will typically be asked for some personal details such as username and password.

  7. You need to grant GNOME access to your new account in order to use it with Online Accounts.

  8. All services that are offered by an account provider will be enabled by default. Switch individual services to OFF to disable them.
