# Manage your account

> Sign up for Together AI, get your API key, and manage your account settings

## Create an account

Head to [together.ai](https://www.together.ai/) and select **Get Started**. You can sign in with Google or GitHub.

Together uses OAuth (Open Authorization) instead of a traditional username and password. This keeps your account secure and means one less password to remember.

**Important:** You must always sign in with the same provider you used at signup. If you try a different provider, you'll see "This email is already linked to another sign-in method."

<Note>
  LinkedIn authentication was previously available but has been discontinued. If you signed up with LinkedIn, you can now sign in with Google or GitHub using the same email address.
</Note>

## Create an API key

Once your account is set up, create a Project API key to start making requests.

## Change your email address

Because Together uses OAuth, email addresses can't be changed directly. To transfer your account to a new email:

1. **Create a new account** with your preferred email address
2. **Contact support** from your current email and provide the new email address
3. **Old account deactivation** -- your original account will be blocked to prevent confusion
4. **Update your integrations** -- update any API integrations to use your new account's API key

Once the transfer is complete, you'll have access to all your previous features and credits under the new email.

## Delete your account

You can delete your account through our self-service process. This complies with GDPR and other data protection regulations.

1. Log in to your Together AI account
2. Navigate to your profile settings at [api.together.ai/settings/profile](https://api.together.ai/settings/profile)
3. Scroll down to the **Privacy and Security** section
4. Select the **delete your account** link
5. Follow the prompts to confirm

<Warning>
  Account deletion removes all your personal data and unsubscribes you from all mailing lists. This cannot be undone. Due to OAuth authentication, you cannot create a new account using the same email address after deletion -- you would need a different email to sign up again.
