Mozilla accounts let you access Mozilla services on any device with the Firefox browser by simply signing in. All you need to create a Mozilla account is an email address and a password.

How do I sign up for a Mozilla account?

You can access the sign-up page on each Mozilla service, or visit the Mozilla accounts signup page and follow the steps below:

  1. Enter your email address and click Sign up or sign in.
  2. Enter a password and your age, then click Create account.
    We ask your age to meet the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule of the USA legislation.
  3. When the Mozilla accounts email arrives, enter the 6-digit confirmation code.
  4. Once your account has been confirmed, sign in to your favorite Mozilla Service using your newly created account. After you sign up, you can also sign in and add an image to your profile.

If you have problems confirming your account, please see I'm having problems confirming my Mozilla account.

Note: You can also use your existing Google or Apple ID to sign up for a Mozilla account. This eliminates the need to remember yet another username and password. To learn more, see Sign in to a Mozilla account using 3rd-party authentication.

Sign in with a one-time email code

Mozilla account supports a passwordless sign-in option for selected services. Instead of entering a password, you can use a one-time code sent to your email address.

When you enter your email on a supported service, Mozilla automatically determines the correct sign-in method. If your account is eligible for the passwordless flow, you’ll receive a one-time code by email. Enter that code on the verification screen to complete sign-in. If the code expires, you can request a new one.

You can use passwordless login when creating a new account for a supported service, or when your existing account lacks a password and is not linked to Google or Apple.

Note: Passwordless login cannot be used for Firefox Sync. Sync requires a password because it uses end-to-end encryption to protect your data.

What makes Mozilla accounts different?

At Mozilla, we put your privacy first. Any data you store on our servers is encrypted with your password, making it impossible for anyone without your password to read your data—even Mozilla. The benefit of this is that no one can mine your data to create a profile of you. However, it does require that you make a password that is both strong and memorable. If you forget your password and reset it, your storage is wiped clean and replaced with what is currently saved in Firefox on your devices.
