# Registration Guide
This page will guide you step-by-step on how to create your account.
### What is Authentik?
We use **Authentik** to manage logins. Think of it as a **single master key** for all services. Instead of remembering different passwords for files, chat, or apps, you log in once here, and Authentik automatically lets you into everything else. This is called **Single Sign-On (SSO)**.
### Step 1: Go to the Login Page
Open your web browser and visit: [**auth.necc.me**](https://auth.necc.me/if/flow/default-authentication-flow/?next=%2F)
### Step 2: Start Sign-Up
On the main page, look for the **Sign Up** link at the bottom.
- **Standard Sign Up:** Click "Sign Up" to create a username and password.
- **Fast Sign Up:** You can also sign up instantly using **Discord**, **GitHub**, or **Telegram**.

### Step 3: Enter Your Details
If you chose standard sign-up, fill in the form:
1. **Username:** Choose your name for the server.
2. **Email:** Enter a real email address. You will need to open this email later.
3. **Password:** Create a strong password.
**🔒 Security Note:** The system automatically checks if your password has been leaked in known data breaches. If you try to use a compromised password, the system will **warn you and block the registration**. Please choose a unique password.

1. Check your email inbox.
2. Open the email from (random string)@send.mail.necc.me
3. Click the **Confirm Account link** inside. The link is valid for 30 minutes.
This step verifies that the email address belongs to you.

### Step 5: You Are Ready!
Once confirmed, your account is active. You can now log in at [**auth.necc.me**](https://docs.necc.me/174251).
### ⚠️ Important: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
To keep your account safe, **Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)** is required.
- **First Login:** You are allowed to log in **one time** using only your password.
- **Next Logins:** Immediately after your first login, you **must** set up MFA. You will not be able to log in again until this is done.
👉 **Please go to the [MFA Setup Guide](https://docs.necc.me/books/rtfm/page/mfa-setup-guide) to learn how to set this up.**
