How to Create a Microsoft Account

A Microsoft account allows you to access services such as Outlook, OneDrive, Microsoft 365, Windows, and Xbox using one login.

Create Your Account

  1. Select Sign in, then choose Create one!

  2. Enter an existing email address, or select Get a new email address to create a free Outlook.com address.

  3. Create a strong password and select Next.

  4. Enter your name, country or region, and date of birth.

  5. Complete the security verification.

  6. Enter the verification code sent to your email address or phone number.

Your Microsoft account is now ready to use.

Important

Keep your password and recovery information secure. Adding a recovery email address or phone number can help you regain access if you forget your password.

If you experience problems creating or accessing your account, please contact Microsoft Support. Microsoft account and password issues must be handled directly by Microsoft.
