## About your personal account on {% data variables.product.github %}
25+
26+
To get started with {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, you need to a personal account and a verified email address.
27+
28+
When creating a free account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, you can also authenticate with Google or Apple - which are the supported social login providers.
29+
For iOS users, even if you have enabled the setting "Hide My Email addresses" for your Apple account, using social login will result in creating a new {% data variables.product.github %} account.
30+
31+
{% data reusables.accounts.your-personal-account %}
32+
33+
Later, you can explore the different types of accounts that {% data variables.product.github %} offers, and decide if you need a billing plan. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/get-started/learning-about-github/types-of-github-accounts) and [AUTOTITLE](/get-started/learning-about-github/githubs-plans).
34+
35+
> [!NOTE]
36+
> The steps in this article don't apply to {% data variables.product.prodname_emus %} and users on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}. If your {% data variables.product.github %} account has been created by your company, you can skip this article.{% ifversion ghes %} For information on how to create an account, contact your site administrator.{% endif %}
37+
38+
## Signing up for a new personal account
39+
40+
1. Navigate to [https://github.com/signup](https://github.com/signup?ref_product=github&ref_type=engagement&ref_style=text).
41+
1. Alternatively, click on **Continue with Google** to sign up using social login.
42+
1. Follow the prompts to create your personal account.
43+
44+
During sign up, you'll be asked to verify your email address. Without a verified email address, you won't be able to complete some basic {% data variables.product.github %} tasks, such as creating a repository.
45+
46+
Some enterprises create {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_users %} for their users. You can't sign up for a personal account with an email address that's already verified for a {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_user %}.
47+
48+
{% ifversion fpt or ghec %}If you're having problems verifying your email address, there are some troubleshooting steps you can take. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/how-tos/email-preferences/troubleshooting-email-verification).{% endif %}
49+
50+
## Next steps
51+
52+
We strongly recommend that you configure 2FA for your account. 2FA is an extra layer of security that can help keep your account secure. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/configuring-two-factor-authentication).
