# Creating an account

While the UP Scorecard can be used as a guest without registering, creating an account for free is recommended in order to access all features, such as saving custom products & foods, comparison results, and portfolios.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Launch the UP Scorecard

Go to [upscorecard.org](https://upscorecard.org/) and launch the UP Scorecard tool. Alternatively, go to [live.upscorecard.org](https://live.upscorecard.org/) directly.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Login/Register/Use as Guest

Users who are already registered can log in with their existing email address and password. To create an account navigate to the register button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Fill in the user information

Name, Email, Password, Company/Organization, and Job Title are mandatory fields. Optionally, we also ask you to give us some additional information about your work and what you wish to accomplish with the UP Scorecard. This will help us improve the tool further in the future. You can also subscribe to our newsletter to learn about future training opportunities and updates.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm

We will send you a confirmation email once your account has been successfully created. Congratulations! You are now registered as a user on the UP Scorecard and are ready to start comparing products and making more sustainable purchasing decisions.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.upscorecard.org/using-the-tool/creating-an-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
