# Sign Up and Sign In

> How to create an ImagineArt account and sign in — covering all four authentication methods, troubleshooting, and support contacts.

ImagineArt supports four authentication methods: **Google**, **Discord**, **Email**, and **Facebook**. You must use the same method every time — accounts are tied to the method you chose at registration.

<Tip>
  Use **Continue with Google** for the easiest and quickest access. Google sign-in requires no password to manage and is the most commonly used method.
</Tip>

## Creating a new account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to imagine.art">
    Visit [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art) and click **Sign Up**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your authentication method">
    Select one of the four options below. Your choice here becomes your permanent sign-in method.

    * **Google** — Links your existing Google account. Requires a verified Google account with accessible credentials.
    * **Discord** — Links your Discord account. Your Discord login credentials will serve as your ImagineArt credentials. Account must be verified.
    * **Email** — Creates a traditional account with a unique password. A verification email will be sent to confirm your address.
    * **Facebook** — Links your Facebook account. You will use the same Facebook credentials to sign in to ImagineArt.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize and verify">
    Follow the prompts for your chosen method. For Email sign-up, check your inbox (and spam folder) for a verification email and click the link to confirm your address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start creating">
    Once verified, you are signed in and ready to use ImagineArt. New accounts receive **100 free credits** that refresh every 24 hours.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Signing in to an existing account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to imagine.art">
    Visit [imagine.art](https://www.imagine.art) and click **Log In**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your original sign-in method">
    Choose the same method you used when you created your account:

    * **Google** — Select your Google account and authorize access.
    * **Discord** — Enter your Discord credentials and authorize platform access.
    * **Email** — Enter your email address and password.
    * **Facebook** — Enter your Facebook credentials and authorize access.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I forgot which sign-in method I used">
    Try each method one at a time — Google, Facebook, Discord, then Email. ImagineArt will indicate when no account is linked to a given method, which helps you narrow it down. Google is the most commonly used method and is a good starting point.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I see an 'Account Already Exists' error">
    This means an account with your email is already registered. Instead of signing up again, click **Log In** and use the method you originally registered with.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I didn't receive my verification email">
    1. Check your spam or junk folder.
    2. Verify you entered the correct email address.
    3. Wait a few minutes, then request a new verification email.
    4. If the email still doesn't arrive, contact [support@imagine.art](mailto:support@imagine.art).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I'm having trouble signing in with Discord">
    * Confirm you are signed in to the correct Discord account.
    * Check that your Discord account email is verified.
    * Clear your browser cache or try an incognito window.
    * Re-authorize the connection between Discord and ImagineArt.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I'm having trouble signing in with Google">
    * Confirm you are selecting the correct Google account (you may have multiple).
    * Disable any pop-up blockers that might prevent the Google authorization window from opening.
    * Try signing in from an incognito window with extensions disabled.
    * Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I forgot my password (email sign-in only)">
    On the sign-in page, click the **Forgot password?** link. Enter your email address and follow the instructions in the reset email. If you signed up with Google, Facebook, or Discord, there is no ImagineArt password — use your provider's own account recovery flow instead.

    See [Password Recovery](/account/password-recovery) for the full step-by-step process.
