# 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.

{% 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.
