Hi all! Maxim is in touch, and today we will talk about the topic: what is an account and why is it needed? We’ll also talk about how to create it, security, and removal if necessary.
I think you will find a complete answer to your question here, so feel free to read the entire article to the end.
To begin with, I want to define the concept in question in the simplest language. Very often, during registration on a particular site, you are asked to fill in information such as:
- Mailbox, for example - [email protected]
- Login, for example - Madcat
- Password: Jenya88345
- You may need information about your country of residence, city, address, telephone number, etc.
- You may also need: your first name, last name, patronymic, date of birth, etc.
So, an account is your login and password that you came up with during registration. Sometimes, instead of a login, to enter your Personal Area, you need to enter the name of your mailbox, in the above example it is - [email protected]
In general, after registering on any site, you must log into your personal account using your account information - login and password.
And yet, the account cannot be suitable for all services, sites, online stores and games at once. On any site (another site), you need to create a new one.
Especially for you, dear friend, I recorded a short video, if you are too lazy to read the text:

In any service, social network or online game, you must register a new profile. First of all, to register it, you need to create Mailbox(you can’t go anywhere without it these days). I recommend Yandex.Mail or Gmail, and you decide for yourself. The fact is that the administration of the resource on which you decided to register is thus trying to prevent multiple registrations.
Of course, this cannot fully protect the service from multiple registrations on your part, however, each time you create a new account, you will have to create a new email. And if the site requires mandatory verification using a phone number, then your chances of creating many profiles are sharply reduced.
After you have successfully registered in a particular service (site), you have new “privileges” (opportunities). For example, in in social networks, you can find friends, create communities, communicate with other people and so on.
On sites where you can make money, for example, on article exchanges, you can very well become a full-time employee writing texts to order.
Thus, we can conclude: the account allows you to use functions that may have been previously unavailable. I assume you understand what an account is and why you need it?
How to keep your account secure
On the Internet there is always a danger of being “hacked”, i.e. transfer your account into the wrong hands, not at your whim. Most often, pages on social networks are hacked. Even my pages were hacked by attackers and used for their own selfish purposes.
Honestly, no one is insured that your account will not be hacked, so try not to indicate too much confidential information. It is unknown who can access it. And I'm not just talking about social media.
In order to protect yourself from hacking, use the recommendations of the services you register with! It's very important to come up with complex password, which consists not only of letters or numbers, but contains both. If it is possible to verify through phone number, then don’t miss it (of course, if you value your account).
Don't forget to check your computer for viruses. It is not uncommon for data to be “lost” due to viruses on the user’s computer.
And most importantly: do not share your data with third parties, even friends!
How to delete your online account
Not all services, social networks and websites have the option of simply deleting an account. The fact is that they are not very willing to let their users go and therefore try to place “buttons” for deletion in inconspicuous places, and sometimes such buttons are not provided at all.
In this case, the most effective way is to contact the support service of a forum, social network, or store. They won’t refuse you here, because... It is your legal right to delete all information about yourself.
Although, to be honest, there are not the most “pleasant companies” that allow themselves to deceive people. It happened to me that when I contacted support, my account remained not deleted. The fact is that they do not want to lose potential customers and resort to such “dirty tricks”. Yes, there is no other way to call it.
Basically, that's all, friends. Good luck!
Best regards, Maxim.
Hello everyone, do you know what an account is and what it is for, how to create it, what functions can you perform with your own accounts? Information for Dummies
Not everyone knows what an account is and how to create one; a considerable share of the audience visits websites only briefly, without registering and without devoting too much time and attention to this aspect of their lives.

Where did the concept of account come from?
An account is an account, a user profile on a website on the network. The English word entered our language only in the 90s. The Internet was practically unavailable then, and the definition was used only for bank accounts.

- Questionnaire, a set of information data.
- Key, the ability to access certain sections of the resource.
- Identification method. Using the data, you can not only determine the identity of your interlocutor, but also continue an unfinished conversation with him.
- Information storage. Many people have important and simply useful information in their personal messages.
It is impossible to do without registering an account on at least one website, because even the provider creates your account on their resource.

Which is better - Skype or Twitter?
Now we can create as many accounts as we want on any resources, there are no restrictions. Therefore, these services are not compared very often. But you will have to spend your free time on something, so you need to make a choice.
Registration in both services is quite simple and does not take too much time.
Skype was developed as a PC program. But now there is also a web version, which is still in the beta test stage. There is no doubt that within the next year exactly the same functionality will appear in the browser.
Many people are familiar with computers, but most actions are performed automatically, without going into details. Almost everyone has their own pages on social networks, an email inbox and Accounts in popular instant messengers.
But if you ask them what a “provider” or “account” is, they are unlikely to answer quickly and intelligibly. And really, where did this concept come from?
It comes from English account, which translates to “bank account.” In Russia and other CIS countries it has acquired a different meaning. This word refers to a user account of some kind virtual resource. It makes it possible to turn from a guest into a regular visitor. To do this you just need to register.
An account is a collection of many elements. It includes login, password and address Email. These are mandatory components, but there are also additional ones: Twitter, Skype, ICQ number, mobile phone, avatar or photo. Personal information usually cannot be viewed by other users; only the administration has access to it.
Before receiving an account, you must read the rules, check the information entered in the appropriate fields and then confirm your registration by clicking on the provided link.
Not all sites require registration, but sometimes it is very convenient for the visitor himself. He gets more rights, can leave comments, participate in competitions, view all pages, find out last news about the project.
Definitely don't panic! This is a fixable issue. Naturally, it is better to take care of the safety of all information in advance: keep a special notebook, a separate text file. You need to write down new passwords on time, keep them at hand, but in a place inaccessible to others. However, you can't keep track of everything. In this case, the resource administration comes to the rescue. 
You click on the “forgot login” (or password) button, remind yourself what email you have - and after some time they send you the necessary data in a letter.
Usually this happens due to the fault of the user himself; you probably violated some condition. Try to find the reason yourself, re-read Terms of use and pay special attention to the section that concerns various sanctions, blocking periods and the possibility of its removal.
If you haven’t found the necessary items and are unable to figure out the problem yourself, then there is only one way out - contact the administrators.
Of course, it's not always your fault. Perhaps your account was simply hacked, and the administration is thus protecting visitors from intruders. This could also happen if you caught a virus the day before, then the program sometimes recognizes your login password and automatically logs into sites through your accounts.
As a rule, the administration accommodates registered users and helps to quickly recover lost information. However, there are other situations. If they refuse help or ask you to pay a lot of money, then it’s easier to create a new account.
This is also an account, only this time it’s not a user, but mobile device. For example, many people now browse the web using a smartphone. If it has an operating system installed Android system, then you can create an account in services from Google. It will make it easy to view mail, surf and use search. There are also accounts that work on other operating systems and gadgets.
This is a great opportunity to save time on data entry, save all settings and personal information about the owner of the device. Thanks to it, access to the phone or smartphone is also restored if problems occur. 
At first, many people think that this is difficult and not very necessary, but then they get used to it and understand: without an account on your phone it’s like having no hands. Still, you won’t carry a laptop or tablet with you everywhere, sometimes good smartphone enough.
