# Learn how to create or log into your Discord account

## How to Create a Discord Account

1. **Download the App or Use the Web Client:**
   * You can download the Discord app for free on your desktop from [here](https://discord.com/).
   * Alternatively, you can access Discord directly from your browser using the web client.
2. **Account Registration:**
   * Visit the [Discord registration page](https://discord.com/) or use the app.
   * Choose a sign-up method (email or phone number), fill out the required fields, and click “Next.”
   * Enter your desired username and password, then click “Next.”
   * Fill in your birthdate and click “Create an account.”
3. **Claim Your Account:**
   * If your new account is not verified, your username will be assigned a random 5-digit number after 7 days from account creation.
   * To keep your preferred username and Discriminator (the four digits next to your username), verify your email address.
   * Check your email for a verification link. If you don’t see an email, click the “Resend” button in the green banner at the top of the app.
   * Click “Verify Email” in the delivered email to claim your account.
4. **Optional: Verify Your Phone Number:**
   * In your Discord settings, go to the “My Account” tab.
   * Click the “Add” button next to the Phone Number section.
   * Enter your phone number (make sure to select the correct country code).
   * You’ll receive a text message with a 6-digit code. Enter this code in the menu.
   * Confirm the changes by entering your account password.

## How to Find Your Discord Username (Tag)

Your Discord username consists of your actual username followed by a hashtag and four digits. Here are two methods to find it:

1. **Hover Over Your Username:**
   * Open Discord.
   * Hover your mouse over your username (top left corner).
   * The full username (including the four digits) will appear. You can copy it from there.
2. **User Settings:**
   * Click the gear icon (User Settings) at the bottom left.
   * Go to the “Advanced” section and enable “Developer Mode.”
   * Return to the “My Account” section.
   * You’ll see your display name and username (with the four digits).
   * If you’re using the desktop app, close and restart it to see the changes.
