# Create an account from the desktop app
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/more/desktop-registration

Signup started in the desktop app runs in Aden's own window and hands the finished account back to the app, signed in.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

You can install Aden for desktop before you have an account. The sign-in screen
has **Create an account**: it opens Aden's signup page in a window of the app,
so you never leave for a browser tab you then stay in.

Sign up as usual, including email verification and the setup wizard, and the
last step asks whether to continue in the app. Choose it and the app is signed
in, no password retyped. **Stay in the browser instead** is there if you would
rather keep working on the web; the app then waits on its sign-in screen.

**Use my browser** on the sign-in screen sends the same signup to your default
browser, for a password manager that only lives there. It comes back the same
way.
