<desc>Connect to an online account.</desc>
</info>
<title>Add an account</title>
<p>Adding an account will help link your online accounts with your GNOME
desktop. Thus, your email program, chat program and other related
applications will be set up for you.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-terminology">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Online Accounts</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Online Accounts</gui> to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click the <gui>+</gui> button in the lower-left corner of the
window.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select the type of account which you want to add.</p>
<p>If you want to add more than one account type, you can do so at a
later time.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>A small website window or dialog will open where you can enter your
online account credentials. For example, if you are setting up a Google
account, enter your Google username and password.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>If you have entered your credentials correctly, you will be prompted
to allow GNOME access to your online account. Authorize access to
continue.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>All services that are offered by an account provider will be enabled
by default. <link xref="accounts-disable-service">Switch</link>
individual services to <gui>OFF</gui> to disable them.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>After you have added the accounts, each application that you have selected
will automatically use those credentials when you start them.</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>For security reasons, GNOME will not store your password on your
computer. Instead, it stores a token that is provided by the online
service. If you want to fully revoke the link between your desktop and the
online service, <link xref="accounts-remove">remove</link> it.</p>
